I've found the spec sheets on these TI sensors that just need a 5v
supply and give a variable voltage output. There were a few threads
on light sensors on the HomeVision list but I havn't found anyone
yet who's successfully calibrated the output to get sensible data to
use in a schedule. I guess a just few bands would be usefull, maybe
5-6 that might indicate dark, twilight, dusk, daylight, overcast,
etc.

Anyone using something similar? or have ideas for practical
application using X10 dimming for example?
