I have a few xioami motion sensors around my house that have been working perfectly for well over a year now. What I would like to be able to do is to use the lux reading in my automations.

There are two versions, one with and one without lux sensor. I think it depends on the integration you use but using deconz you will have a sensor.lightlevel_xx
