Which sunshine sensor would work for me?

[armouredsp]

Hi guys, I have the pleasure (half sarcastic) of inheriting a very extensive Domoticz system in the house I bought.

The problem is, I have enough knowledge to keep it going and fixing problems but I never set up any devices.

Now I'd like to add a sensor that detects the sun and opens/closes sunscreens depending on the light-level. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Hardware:
Domoticz Version: 2021.1
OpenZWave USB Version: 1.6-1911
Zigbee2MQTT

Please let me know and sorry if I left something out

If you have Solar panels in your new house you can use those.
I have no Zwave so cannot help you on those.
For Zigbee I did not find a lux sensor that updates the lux without having motion. As they are battery powered the zigbee devices only send lux values if motion is detected.

So perhaps someone else has a solution. In Zwave there are multisensors with lux but i don't know their usage.

Hi,
you could look at this post [url]viewtopic.php?f=72&t=35541]Solar Data script : Azimuth, Altitude, Lux/url]
I use it for my blinds / shutters
I could share the script

Thanks for the replies guys

I think that script would be the perfect solution

Good,
I meant that I use both of those scripts
1/ the one for the cloudiness (okta)
2/ the one for solar data (sun azimuth, altitude and lux)

And I did another one, based on sun azimuth, altitude and lux, that manges my shutters (open, close, and move the slats)
