Xiaomi Motion Sensor Illumination Value

Xiaomi Aqara motion sensor illumination value doesn't update until motion is detected

I just got myself a couple of Aqara motion sensors that supports illumination reading. I was hoping I could use it to detect the outdoor Illumination in order to automate the lighting in the house. Unfortunately, it seems the illumination value doesn’t change until motion is detected. The illumination value is tied with the motion value. Is anyone else facing this problem? Do you have any workaround for this?

Bbasically, once an hour or every 2/3 minutes or so if there is motion

There are actually to xiaomi motion sensors - one reports lux, the other reports lumens.

re state info - what do you see? this is mine, on lovelace:
