Continuous monitoring to adjust lights?

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

Hi guys,

Are there any way to continuously monitor an event (the lux level from a light meter) for illumination control? I’m hoping the light meters come with an event for changing lux levels, but just in case it doesn’t…

Cheers,

Lars

Certainly. It is called PLEG.

It is also possible with Lua. You would need to set a variable-watch for the device variable in question. You then write a call-back function to process the changed variable. The best place for this code is in Vera’s Startup Lua which executes during a start/restart.

See Variable Watch for details.
