Hi,

 

I have installed a C310 camera outside, a motion sensor in our staircase and some bulbs, plugs etc. From the beginning I was wondering why the motion sensor has no brightness sensor included. Okay because its a motion sensor, but the point is I haven't find a way how to connect our luminaires and lighting automation to the brightness of the day. At the moment I added a time schedule to the automation but this does not cover cloudy/rainy days or situations like that. I need to change the start and stop time every time by hand. 

So I would be glad if someone can tell me if there is a possibility to bring the brightness in my automation somehow.

 

thank you in advance!

The kasa switch KS220M have a ambient light sensor, we use it to turn on the lights on the stairway when motion is detected.

  @GabrielMitch thanks for that information. This one could be a solution but normally I would not need a switch and it would be strange if this is the only way to have a ambient light sensor in TP-Links smart home products.

Perhaps there is an other way.

I don't see that they have launched any light sensor so far, not that I can recall. Perhaps this can be achieved by a software update? But i'm doubted...
