# Ambient light
The following algorithms are based on 5 channel ambient light signals that can be acquried by the movisens sensors LightMove 3 or LightMove 4.
# Illuminance (Illuminance)
This parameter calculates the level of ambient light in an adjustable output interval. The unit is [lux].
# Color temperature (ColorTemperature)
This parameter calculates the color temperature in an adjustable output interval. The algorithm outputs the value -1 if the color temperature is not calculable (darkness). The unit is [K].
# Light Situation detection (LightSituation)
It’s possible to estimate the current light situation based on a multichannel ambient light sensor. This parameter describes the type of light captured by the sensor in an adjustable output interval. The following table displays the relevant coding:
Light Situation | Coding |
---|---|
Darkness | 0 |
Incandescent Light | 1 |
Daylight/Sunlight | 2 |
Daylight/Cloudy | 3 |
Fluorescent | 4 |
LED | 5 |
Daylight Lamp | 6 |
Mixed Light | 7 |
