About Lux Meter Tag
The Lux Meter Tag uses a high dynamic range light intensity sensor OPT3001 that can measure illuminance from 0.01 to 83,000 lux. This sensor is digital and calibrated. It communicates using an I²C bus and features a very low power operation and shutdown mode.
tip
You can use the sensor to detect day and night or it could be used as auxiliary information about someone’s presence.
