RE: Light sensor for Comfort ?

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could you not just "tune" the sunrise/sunset times after
comfigurator has
calculated them to better suit your specific experience? I've done this for
certain parts of the year as I too find that the "official" times
don't
really relate too closely to when it typically reaches the appropriate
light
levels in this location...

The reason Cytech don't make their one any longer (AFAIK) is because it was
a little bit pants... quite difficult & fiddly to trim to the right
settings...

Hi all

For a while I've been using Comfort's sunrise/sunset times to determine
when certain lights should be switched on, but I'm finding they don't
really correspond to the actual daylight levels in my house (due to the
house layout & position).

So I would like to use a light sensor instead.

Any idea where I could buy an LSM01 light sensor module ?

And does anyone know how the LSM01 works - does it just provide a simple
on/off light/dark signal to Comfort, or do they provide a varying analogue
output ?
Ideally I'd like to be able to read the daylight level, so that I could
choose different daylight levels to control different lights in the house
(ie some parts of the house get darker before others do).

Or if anyone wants to make me up such a device I'd be willing to pay :)

Cheers
Lee
