What am I doing wrong?

I have a card when shelly door sensor is activated (door opens), and if lux is lower than 13, activate S1 relay (light).

It returns an exclamation mark at the “And” (helderheid).

De Shelly Door/Window sensor is een behoorlijk ongeschikt apparaat om te integreren met Homey. 98% van de tijd is het apparaat niet bereikbaar om de batterij te besparen. Aangezien Homey elke 5 seconden moet kijken of de status van de sensor is gewijzigd kan het gebeuren dat Homey de update mist (en in dit geval de trigger van de flow mist).

Ik heb het bedrijf achter Shelly al gevraagd om een andere manier waarbij de sensor zelf zijn status doorgeeft als hij wakker wordt maar ik heb heb reactie van de gehad.

The lumi is smaller than 13, I can barely see something 🙂  
I think Phuturist is correct, the sensor goes in sleep modus, when doing the test it is not awaken and lumi fails measuring fails.  
But even when I open the door and thus activate the sensor, the light is not going on.

heb het helderheid kaartje verwijderd en flow werkt: deur open \> licht aan.  
de meting van helderheid is niet ideaal vrees/vermoed ik.

The Shelly input status is retrieved every 5 seconds.  
I use the HTTP request app to send the status to Homey faster.  
(I use a shelly 1 as a doorbell push button detector in 12 volt mode)

De Shelly input status wordt idd elke 5 seconden opgehaald.  
Ik gebruik de HTTP request app om de status sneller naar Homey te sturen.
