Function and device overview
The Homematic IP Light Sensor measures brightness (in
lux) and is suitable for outdoor areas. The measured val-
ues are transferred cyclically to the Homematic IP Access
Point as well as to the Homematic IP app. The values can
be individually analysed.
In connection with other Homematic IP devices, the light
sensor offers a large number of applications. For example,
lights are switched on during darkness or shutters are
moved down in case of strong brightness.
Thanks to the radio communication and battery operation,
the light sensor is highly flexible where mounting and
selecting a mounting location are concerned. Mounting
is particularly easy using the screws and plugs supplied.
The device can also be used as standing unit.
