==Introduction==
<br>
The EASY plug TEMT6000 ambient light sensor needs to be used with the EASY plug control board V2.0 Control board. The module is connected to the analog input interface with only one line, so the wiring is done in a simple and convenient way. At some point you are going to want to sense ambient brightness with better precision than your trusty photoresistor without adding complexity to your project. When that day comes, go get yourself a TEMT6000 ambient light sensor.<br>
The TEMT6000 is supposed to be adapted to the sensitivity of the human eye, but I found it preformed sub-par in low light conditions. It does however work very well reacting to very small changes in a large range of brightnesses. Because it is meant to mimic the human eye, it does not react well to IR or UV light, so just make sure to note that when considering using it in your project. <br>

EASY plug TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor

Introduction

Light sensors are probably one of the most common sensors in life. They can be found in your laptop, phone or home lighting system.
A light sensor measures the level of light in a room or ambient light in a space.

This EASY plug TEMT6000 light sensor uses a special ambient light detector (TEMT6000) with spectral response that closely emulates the human eye.
It does react well to very small changes in a wide range of brightness, however, it does not react well to IR or UV light. The sensor can help you to to detect the light density.
This module should be used together with EASY plug control board.

Special Note:
The sensor/module is equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface, compatible with our keyestudio EASY plug Control Board with RJ11 6P6C interface.
If you have the control board of other brands, it is also equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface but has different internal line sequence, can’t be used compatibly with our sensor/module.

  • Connector: Easy plug
  • Supply Voltage: +5V DC 50mA
  • Interface：Analog Input
