I’m a photographer and would like to add an outdoor kelvin meter to Homey Pro so I can have readouts showing the temperature of the light to track “golden hour”.

Strangely, I haven’t found any. There’s a lot of lux meters, showing the AMOUNT of light but not what degree of white, the light has.

Any suggestions?

A suggestion (but not the one you are looking for 🤣)  
Can uou add the words “color temperature” to the tekst?  
While reading i was thinking in the direction of warmth temperature, which can lead to suggestion on how to change celsius to Kelvin.  
(Totally not what you are looking fot)

Unfortunately, no color temperature suggestions…

Well Ok a suggesiotn…  
[Google finds](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/s8hzyt/how_to_measure_outside_color_temperature/) an ESP color temperature sensor.  
Homey does support [ESP devices](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-esphome-control-your-esp8266-esp32-by-simple-configuration-files/87271)
