Description

Automatic lighting based on light

The Aqara Light Sensor T1 accurately measures light intensity in lux and enables you to control the lighting in your home fully automatically. This ensures that lights only turn on when it is actually dark enough, providing extra comfort and lower energy consumption.

Key benefits

• Accurately measure light intensity from 0 to 100,000 lux
• Equipped with energy-efficient Zigbee 3.0 technology
• Real-time insight into light values via your smart home platform
• Compact, wireless, and easy to install thanks to the magnetic design

Smart applications in the home

Thanks to the wide measurement range and fast response, you can easily create useful automations:

• Twilight detection: have outdoor or indoor lighting switch on automatically as soon as the sun sets.
• Daylight control: Dim or switch lights based on the amount of incoming daylight.
• Scene integration: Activate special mood scenes as soon as the light level drops below a certain threshold.

Simple integration

The light sensor can be easily paired with a compatible Zigbee 3.0 gateway or hub, after which it can be immediately integrated into your favorite home automation system such as Home Assistant or Homey Pro. Please note that a working Zigbee gateway is required for operation; this product does not work standalone and measures only light intensity, not motion.
