> Hi, I’m currently experimenting with the Xiaomi Aqara motion sensor. This has a build-in lux sensor which I tried to use for making the lights go on/off based on the lux-value. I noticed the lux-value is only reported to Homey when there is motion detected. I actually need a sensor which also report lux-value even if there is no movement. I’ve got my eye on the Neo Coolcam but I can’t find if this is also only reporting on motion or if it’s reporting every x minutes or so. Can anyone confirm?
