Just wanted to say thanks for this great plugin.

I am having some trouble trying to change lights based on ambient light level of the motion sensor.

Is this plugin still actively worked on? I see the last comments were from last year.

Many thanks,

I am trying to read the ambient light level off the Philips Hue Indoor Motion Sensor

Once I have this data I will change the brightness of my monitors to match.

It may be that i'm using the plugin incorrectly:

I am trying to get the sensor status as per the following image:


Then when I print:

print eg.plugins.PhilipsHue.getStatus (u'03 - Hue ambient light sensor 1')

I get the following output: It seems to be outputting the status of an IKEA bulb I have, not the light sensor.

Any idea where i'm going wrong?

Thanks again for all you support and making this great plugin.

You are using the function for getting the status of a light, you should use: getSensorStatus

Thanks I am now getting the correct status reading.

Apologies for being slow here but I was expecting to get a reading of the various sensors, however I only get it's ID number and software version.

What do I need to get something like this?

Ambient light level: 56, Temperature: 24, etc. etc.

much appreciated,

Can you copy and paste the entire response?

If I run the same command for my tapswitch I get:
