Xiaomi Aqara Motion Sensor Lux Problem

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi,

i have a strange behavior and maybe someone can help me.

i get 2 Xiaomi Motion Sensor (Aqara) with Illumination Measurement. I connect them to the Gateway and than found it in Paperui and see in the Log that they send every Minute a Update with the Lux Data. When i now create a item for that Illumination Part i didn´t get informations about LUX. Can anybody help?

Best Regards
Karsten

I get changes only when motion is detected,
without motion detection, changes in lighting are not published

Switch		hallway_motion_state		    "state [%s]"					            <motion>        (gRestore)	                { channel="mihome:sensor_motion_aq2:158d0001e56c1c:motion" }
Number		hallway_motion_illumination	    "illumination"				                <light>         (gRestore)                  { channel="mihome:sensor_motion_aq2:158d0001e56c1c:illumination" }
// minimum 5 seconds
Number		hallway_motion_timer	        "timer" 					                <time>			                            { channel="mihome:sensor_motion_aq2:158d0001e56c1c:motionOffTimer" }

Number		hallway_motion_battery          "battery"					                <battery>       (gHistory,gMinLevelBattery) { channel="mihome:sensor_motion_aq2:158d0001e56c1c:batteryLevel" }

Switch		hallway_motion_battery_low	    "battery low"   				            <battery>		                            { channel="mihome:sensor_motion_aq2:158d0001e56c1c:lowBattery" }


rule "Xiaomi Aqara Motion Sensor"
when
    Item hallway_motion_state changed from OFF to ON or
    Item hallway_motion_state changed from ON to OFF
then
    hallway_motion_timer.sendCommand(55)
    if (hallway_motion_state.state == ON) {
        if(hallway_motion_illumination.state < 50) {
            gate_light_switch.sendCommand(ON)
        }
    } else {
        if(gate_light_switch.state == ON) {
            gate_light_switch.sendCommand(OFF)
        }
    }
end

For me it seems like when no motion detect (channel lastMotion change) than channel illumination not change :frowning: hard to use it for detection if its dark or not :frowning:

I use channel lastMotion changed in rule because this value udate quite often - interval is few seconds
