Light Sensor LM363

Man-in-Black

Hey all together,

I got my light sensor working fine on my raspberry pi (with somy python scripts).
Now I wanted to get these information from this sensor working with pimatic.
The only way to do this is to build a MySensors-Gateway, but therfore I need more hardware.
Is there any way to read this directly with pimatic?

Thank you very much.

Hi, if you have already your LM363 sensor working fine on your rasp you can use pimatic log reader plugin https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-log-reader : no need extra hardware

Thank you for this hint.
It works fine, light is switching on if it’s dark enough.

Thank you very much

I only find an amplifier IC by the name LM363, which light sensor are you talking about?

I don’t know how the light sensor is connected, but I assume via a gpio pin. There is a pimatic gpio plugin, maybe you can skip the python script all together and talk to the light sensor directly from pimatic?
