The WisBlock Ambient Light Sensor – RAK1903 is based on the Texas Instruments OPT3001, providing accurate and energy-efficient ambient light measurement for a wide range of IoT applications.
It offers a measurement range from 0.01 lux to 83,865 lux, making it suitable for everything from low-light detection to bright outdoor conditions.
When combined with the RAK4631 WisBlock Core, it creates a complete solution for acquiring and transmitting ambient light data using LoRaWAN®, LoRa point-to-point, or BLE.
Key Features & Benefits:
Wide Measurement Range: 0.01–83865 lux for indoor/outdoor use
TI OPT3001 Chip: High accuracy and low power consumption
Easy Integration: Plug-and-play with WisBlock Base Boards
Battery-Friendly: Ultra-low power with WisBlock power-down support
Ideal for IoT Projects: Greenhouse monitoring, light alarms, smart lighting
Combine the RAK1903 with other WisBlock sensors (e.g. temperature, humidity, barometric pressure) to build complete environmental monitoring or greenhouse control systems.
