The Homematic IP Light Sensor is part of the Homematic IP smart home system and measures the brightness in outdoor areas. The measured values can be displayed via the free Homematic IP smartphone app. The Homematic IP Light Sensor offers a wide variety of applications in conjunction with other Homematic IP devices, such as shutter and blind actuators or pluggable switches. The light sensor measures the light values measured in lux and transmits the detected information to connected Homematic IP devices, which react according to the previously defined configuration. For example, the awning can be extended during strong sunlight or the façade lighting is switched on in the twilight while the shutters are moved down.
Thanks to battery operation and radio communication, the Homematic IP Light Sensor is immediately ready for flexible use. Ideally, it is either mounted to the wall in outdoor areas or positioned at the desired location.
