    I noticed that the readings are completely different between MySensors and BH1750 library or perhaps I'm misinterpreting the lux values?

    I've used the sample sketch in both in the BH1750 library and MySensors.

    Any ideas why?

    Thank you!

        Miles away...

        When my reading in BH1750.h library is at 529 lux
        My reading in MySensors is at 34-39 lux

        So I'm not sure why.... I'm guessing maybe it's the resolution mode in MySensors?

        Here's my serial print. Please disregard the Buf label, its just my sloppy labelling. :)
