The Lux Meter Tag uses a high dynamic range light intensity sensor OPT3001 that can measure illuminance from 0.01 to 83,000 lux. This sensor is digital and calibrated. It communicates using an I²C bus and features a very low power operation and shutdown mode.

You can use the sensor to detect day and night or it could be used as auxiliary information about someone's presence.
The spectral response of the sensor tightly matches the photopic response of the human eye and includes significant infrared rejection.
