I solved this by creating an additional attribute to the sun.sun sensor. This goes in custom_components/

gist.github.com

sun.py

"""
Support for functionality to keep track of the sun.

import asyncio
import logging

Next, I created a template sensor:

lux.yaml

- platform: template
  sensors:

    above_cloud_lux:
      friendly_name: "Above Cloud Lux"
      unit_of_measurement: "Lux"
      value_template: >-
        {{ states.sun.sun.attributes.daylight | round(0) }}
    lux:
      friendly_name: "Exterior Lux"
