Illuminance Sensor
An illuminance sensor measures ambient light level, typically in lux. Selora AI uses it to decide when artificial light is needed and to adjust shades and lighting through the day.
Our top picks
The brands we reach for first, best to 3.
Aqara
5 modelsAqara devices that work with Selora and Home Assistant. Aqara products run on the Aqara cloud integration, ZHA, zigbee2mqtt, or Matter over Thread depending on the model; Aqara cameras pair locally via HomeKit or RTSP.
Everything Smart Home
3 modelsEverything Smart Home devices that work with Selora and Home Assistant. The Everything Presence line of ESPHome mmWave and PIR sensors connects over Wi-Fi and runs fully locally through the ESPHome integration.
Shelly
4 modelsShelly devices that work with Selora and Home Assistant. Most Shelly products are Wi-Fi and run on the native Shelly integration for local control with no cloud required, plus MQTT. Newer Gen3 and Gen4 models add Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter over Wi-Fi, while the Qubino Wave line runs on Z-Wave.
