Itââ¬â¢s not very good as a light sensor.

3000 lux is the equivalent to a 200w incandescent bulb so unless your hue sensor is outdoors in brilliant sunshine then it's either way off or there's a decimal point missing. On my hub if I pick up a luminosity change event from the multi sensor 6 and grab the reading then it's good. It doesn't seem to continuously present a reading - that's been my experience with it.

I know what you mean, the sensor does seem to report low Lux. For me this isn't an issue as I'm only using the sensor to switch the lights on if the lux is below a value, so I just set that value to 60 and all is good. If you need to you can calibrate the lux sensor using Parameter 203.

Lux / light level is always difficult to quantify between different devices because it depends on which sensor the device uses, its sensitivity and in a lot of cases how the sensor is exposed (e.g. if it's behind the plastic of a PIR lens, or through a tiny pin hole in the case.
