I want to write a script that read every x minutes the value of the device. For example the illuminance or temperature. I have aqara motion sensor, which mesure also the illuminance, but it does not update hassio every x seconds. It sends the date to hassio only when it detected the movement.
So want to write some kind of polling.
If using Zigbee2MQTT
This is the counterpart of the set command. It allows you to read a value from a device. To read e.g. the state of a device send the payload {"state": ""}. What you can /get is specified on the device page under the “Exposes” section.
Illuminance (numeric) #
Measured illuminance in lux. Value can be found in the published state on the
illuminanceproperty. It’s not possible to read (/get) or write (/set) this value. The unit of this value islx.
Whatever you get from polling, it will not be the current value, but the last update.
I am not using Zigbee2MQTT. Using ZHA with ConbeeII
Doesn’t matter, as @m0wlheld wrote you will not be able to get the current value from the sensor. Apart from that illuminance from the this montion sensor is pretty useless, beter take a look at the xiaomi light sensor.
The Philips Hue Motion sensor reports illumination and temperature independent of motion detection.
Ok got it. Low cost sensor do not provide details
€ 9.74 is not expensive
yeh but the one i got has: illuminance, occupancy and motion
