Light Phidget
This handly little sensor measures the amount of light shining on it, making it a perfect addition to automated systems that need to switch on at night or in low-light conditions. It has a wide measurement range from 188 microlux (starlight on a moonless night) to 220,000 lux (direct sunlight). It connects to a VINT Hub port with a Phidget cable. Have a look at the “Compatible Products” tab for a list of options.
