Flotilla - Light

The Flotilla Light module is a great tool for detecting the ambient light level. It's perfect for weather stations, monitoring light in your greenhouse, or reminding you when you leave the lights on at home. Key features include a TSL2581 sensor for accurate light detection and a Micro USB connector for easy use. Find relevant recipes at http://learn.flotil.la/cookbook/ or use it with Rockpool at http://flotil.la/rockpool/. You can also control it via our Python Flotilla API. Note that Flotilla modules need a Dock and Flotilla ropes (USB micro B to micro B cables).

Using the Flotilla Light module is easy. First, make sure you have a Dock and Flotilla ropes (USB micro B to micro B cables) as this module requires them to work. Connect the module to the Dock using the rope. Once connected, the module will start detecting the ambient light level right away. You can use it in a weather station by simply placing it in the appropriate location. In a greenhouse, it helps you keep an eye on the light levels for your plants. And at home, it can give you a reminder when you forget to turn off the lights. If you want to use recipes, visit http://learn.flotil.la/cookbook/. You can also integrate it with Rockpool at http://flotil.la/rockpool/. For more control, use our Python Flotilla API. When it comes to maintenance, keep the module clean and avoid exposing it to extreme conditions. This will ensure it works well for a long time.
