1 year agoYeah, I’ve played around with basing it on sunrise/sunset and a local weather api, but it often says it’s cloudy outside when it’s not, and vice versa. Or there’s various types of cloud; the API can’t differentiate.

I considered this, but I want it based on outside brightness, as it affects glare in the room. I’d like the blind to be open if at all possible, i.e. when it’s duller outside.
This is ridiculous. When will these companies decide they’ve made enough profits and run their companies in a way people enjoy the product as was probably originally intended. Sorry, wishful thinking there!!
Yeah, this is what I was thinking, though I didn’t consider that the sensor facing outwards might get a different lux value if blinds are up or down with the same cloud state. I thought they’d literally be directional, having not had one before. Thanks!
