The TEMT6000 analog light sensor module simply detects light from an external source and sends out an appropriate analog signal. However, this session will show you how to build a bit stronger modular ...

Now it makes sense. This is a simple timer switch for AC220V lamps but with an ambient light sensor and a sound-controlled trigger mechanism. Nothing special to say about the first test. I wired a ...

The TMD3700 colour sensor channels each have UV and IR blocking filters and a converter allowing simultaneous data capture necessary for accurate measurements. The combination of photopic colour and ...

Then, at CES in January, there it was -- a weatherized, battery-powered outdoor sensor from Philips Hue, and one that doesn't just track motion, but also temperature and ambient light.

Alternatively, click "Enable Ambient Light Sensor to Optimize Battery Savings." This option will enable ALS, but it uses a unmodifiable, preset brightness range.

The Galaxy View2 also provided easy access to the light sensor. MIT researcher Liu said iOS devices and light sensor-embedded TVs from a host of manufacturers are also likely vulnerable.

Apple is researching an ambient light sensor that could be embedded underneath an iPhone display, a development that could aid in removing or reducing the screen notch. Current Apple smartphones ...
