I don't understand this.
Maybe I am getting something wrong here, but do light sensors simply not exist?
I currently have an IKEA setup with a gateway, lights, switches, bulbs etc. but as it is buggy AF (It may be cheap, and it has a wide range of devices, but its frustratingly buggy, so I cannot recommend it)
But I am considering to switching to Philips Hue, as (hopefully) it is less buggy and has better software too.
But neither has a light sensor (?)
I want to place a sensor, and have my lights turn on when it is dark outside.
Why is this not possible? The hardware is already inside the movement sensors, since they can be programmed to turn on when there is movement AND it is dark, but not when there is movement AND it is light.
So what gives?
