Grove - Sunlight Sensor

The Grove Sunlight Sensor is a high-performance digital light sensor based on the Si1151 from Silicon Labs. It features multi-channel light detection and is capable of measuring ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) light across a broad spectral range from 280 to 950 nm. Thanks to the precision of the Si1151, this sensor delivers consistent and accurate readings even under direct sunlight, making it a reliable choice for various light-sensitive applications.

Ideal for environmental monitoring, smart agriculture, and wearable UV detection systems, this compact sensor offers low power consumption and flexible configuration options. It connects easily via a Grove-compatible I²C interface, making integration with platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi straightforward.
