Information regarding the bright-
ness sensor
You can use the collected values of the brightness sensor
for controlling other Homematic IP devices. For exam-
ple, your shutters can be moved down in case of strong
sunlight in connection with a Homematic IP Shutter Ac-
tuator. Or your awning is extended in case of sunshine
offering sun protection while you are on the terrace. The
detected brightness of the brightness sensor is displayed
in the Homematic IP app on a scale from 0-100,000. The
higher the value, the brighter it is. The value is used only
for orientation and is not equal to brightness in lux.
