The ALS (Ambient Light) Sensor is a light sensor that captures the amount of light received, and communicates the information digitally, allowing the software to use this information to adjust the brightness of any lights on the network.
The ALS sensor is an EIP (Environmental Interface Peripheral). Each EIP is associated with the IP Address of its host SPICEBox. Light level events are fully programmable in the Management Software to control any NuSPICE load (fixture) with scenes and fade times.
EIPs are programmed through NuPAC (NuLEDS Provisioning and Configuration Software) as well as Appio.
Key Points:
Be aware of reflected surfaces which can result in false readings.
Approximately 90 degree field view.
May be wall mounted or surface mounted.
