AEOTEC / AEONLAB Multisensor 4-1 DSCB05 is a good choice, but you must install it under the roof for example, not directly exposed to bad weather

  • hmm i really need it outside.

    i need to know when it's dark around my house (not sunset etc) because i want my outside lights on when it's dark

    i did use a ms13 and later on a "klik aan/uit" device that sends an off/on command

    Me too... Also Known As: "4 in 1". It's a IP42 device. So it should be protected from (direct) rain, but it can be installed outside. I have one outside and it works well. It currently has no "template" for parameters, but it's functioning in HC2.

    Take a normal light sensor like one mounting on light pole along the street.

    connect the output circuit to a FGS211 switch and you'll have the switch closing when darkness arrive

    then you'll be able to play scenes to light all your external light and if you like power off/on them by your phone.

    enjoy.
