Lux Sensor that can do constant updates to HA

Hardware

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a Lux/Luminance sensor that constantly, even if only like one minute updates to HA?

Seems the ones I have tried which are motion sensors always have to detect motion before sending a Lux reading into HA.

Thanks

Matt

I bought two of the Aqara Light Sensor T1 Zigbee Sensor.

As dedicated light Sensor, it’s not limited to sending only every minute or like some motion sensors that only send luminance updates on motion.

If I cover the sensor with my hand and release it a few seconds later, I get immediately responses from the sensor.

They use a CR2450, which is larger than a typical CR2032.

The older one of my two sensors is about two years old and is hanging outside of the house. It’s still on the first battery.

Those are my go to lux sensor too. I also liked its predecessor. But they seem to be harder to get by the minute. I wonder if they might be discontinued and I have not fould a similar alternative.
