Domoticz + sensor lux BH1750

[Daro1003]

Hello

Is it possible to connect the BH1750 lighting intensity sensor directly via Raspberry GPIO to Domoticz and read the value?

Currently I have it through the weather station but I would like to build a raspberry backup with lux reading in the event of a power failure. Now I would also have to maintain the main router and the Wi-Fi access point from which the station receives the Wi-Fi signal to connect to the network and Domoticz.

I checked in Domoticz from settings -> hardware and the BH1750 sensor is missing in I2C

If not yet supported with Domoticz integration you could read the sensor with a bash or python script and have that script push the data to a dummy sensor in Domoticz.

Check out this wiki page for examples https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Scripts

As a variant
you can use Tuya Zigbee motion sensor ( like this) that includes lux sensor

Then you need zigbee Does this sensor send regular lux updates or only when motion is detected?

Yes you need it May be TS have it?

As i remember they work independently.
Motion sensor as switch
And lux sensor as... separate device )

My lux sensor was broken - very frequent triggers so i cut it off from motherboard and it just shows 0 now and motion sensor still works fine. So i cant show you how it working.
