Well of course not. Does this sensor detect light sensitivity in lux? Of course not. So what’s the use of it??? A separate street device is required and there are no other alternatives and options!!! I don’t understand at all how it turned out that this basic device may not be in a smart home??? I don’t understand what’s the problem with creating it??? If you don’t want to creat… When we receive a sensor that will measure light and report its changes. We need this core functionality to perform automation. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.ewelink.cc/t/recommendation-for-water-flood-sensor/35657)._
