The ltr390 sensor, on sunny days, reaches the measurement limits. It actually delivers results that are too high. The sensor shows 157,286 Lx and a count of 1,048,575 which seems excessively high. The gain is set to 1X
The LTR390 is connected to an ESP32 in an ESPHOME environment with the following configuration:
- platform: ltr390
gain: X1
uv_index:
name: "UV Index"
accuracy_decimals: 2
filters:
- multiply: 1.20 # Correction for average estimated UV Transmittance loss due to the sapphire crystal used

Any idea what could be happening to make the readings so much higher than reasonable?
Thank you in advance for any help
