Lux value not changing in lua script

[markb81 0]

I have a simple script to determine on which lux values I want to trigger. It should output the current lux value. It does do that (I think) however even if I turn the lights on very bright the lux value will not change. What should I do to get the current lux value each and every time?

 

-- This script can be used to print the current lux value of a Light sensor set in md1 variable

 

--[[

%% autostart

%% properties

%% globals

--]]

 

local jT = json.decode((fibaro.getGlobalVariable("HomeTable")))

 

-- Get Device IDs

md1 = jT["Badkamer/Badkamer Light"]

 

-- Set required variables

 

local lux = 0;

local lightLevelName = ""

 

-- Get detected Lux value

lux = tonumber(fibaro.getValue(md1,"value"));

 

if lux < 1 then

    lightLevelName = "Pitch Black";

  elseif lux < 10 then

    lightLevelName = "Very Dark";   

  elseif lux < 300 then

    lightLevelName = "Dark Indoors";

  elseif lux < 800 then

    lightLevelName = "Dim Indoors";

  elseif lux < 3000 then

    lightLevelName = "Normal Indoors";

  elseif lux < 5000 then

    lightLevelName = "Bright Indoors";

  elseif lux < 10000 then

    lightLevelName = "Dim Outdoors";

  elseif lux < 30000 then

    lightLevelName = "Cloudy Outdoors";

  elseif lux < 100000 then

    lightLevelName = "Direct Sunlight";

  end;

 

-- Printout to console

print("Current LUX Level of Light Sensor ",md1," is: ",lux, " which can be compared to ", lightLevelName)

Hi @markb81,

 

Which sensor do you use for measuring lux?

Fibaro Motion Detector

And in your dashboard you do see different lux values during the day?
