Light sensor values show as 1000% instead of 1000 lux

Community Playground Getting Started & Initial Setup

Hi all,
I recently installed an Aeon Labs 4-in-1 sensor including a luminance sensor measuring lux. In the UI values however show up as 1-1000 %. Is there any simple way to change this so that values show correctly as 1-1000 lux instead?

I am running latest firmware (1.7 something) on a Vera Edge.

Thanks!

I see the same on my controller. I will look into it for you.

Thanks!

The device json in UI7 is coded to use the percent sign… (UI5 just displays “Level” and the value…)

Quick fix… download the D_LightSensor1.json file… change line 52 from "text": "%" to "text": "lux" and upload the edited file to your Vera and refresh your browser.

This is only an UI fix i presume. Scenes can’t use “Brightness below”

Yes… they did not add the notification events for “brightness goes above” or “brightness goes below”…

Use the attached json for that…

Our Customer Care Manager has reached out to the manufacturer to get this resolved.

Thanks for your responses. On my Vera I can choose brightness comparison as a trigger for scenes, but I haven’t tried to see if it is working…

Best would of course be if Vera and Aeon Labs found a solution so that it’s clear what values to enter when setting up brightness rules.

I will wait a few days before considering the suggestion to edit the LUA file. I have not done such hacks before. Could it have any unwanted effects on other hardware, or could there be any problems after updating to future Vera firmware?

Thanks again.
