I'm looking for outdoor lux meter, to open/close my screens.The KaKu ABST-604 is a bit expensive.
Any alternatives?
Maybe some DIY with 433 print and sensor?

Need to make a DIY-housing for the ESP8266 with power supply, but then you are ready.
Not the most accurate, but probably useful enough.

maybe the smartwares SH5-TSY-A, starts from E10.95.
However this unit can't be adjusted on light sensitivity. (unless you cover the sensor with a piece of tape)
