Light Sensors?

[Lorccan]

I would like to include the light level from motion sensors in automations, but this characteristic is not covered at the moment (or at least it's not as far as I can see). Is there a straightforward way of doing this?

Yes, debug the output from the sse event as full data object.

When the motion sensor sends it's data, you can use a change node to move the data path of the light level to payload.

You can have a look in the existing used change nodes how the scheme works.

If you have further questions just hit me up.

Edit: like this it works for any data you like to extract from the event stream

Got it! I modified the motion sensor subflow template to add a new env variable light_threshold. I then use that in the second switch node to see whether the reported light level is either ≥ or < I've also then modified the meaning of the debugs on the output.

It's working well. Thanks again for being so fast to reply (and for the great ideas)!
