Light sensor – outdoor

Let the sun into your smart home – exactly how you like it

At midday, the sun often heats up living spaces in particular. This doesn't have to happen in your smart home: With Homematic IP, you only let in the sun when you want it. The light sensor measures the brightness outdoors and passes on the values to your shutters on request. Your shutters will be automatically lowered at a certain brightness level. For carefree enjoyment of your smart home.
