V_LEVEL light sensor not working
-
I tried making a motion/light/door sensor and everything seems to work fine, except the light sensor doesn't show up in home assistant. The problem seems to be me using V_LEVEL to pass exact lux amount. As I understand it, this should work fine? I can seen in gw log that lux value and "custom_lux" prefix get transferred as expected. Any help would be appreciated as I seem to be lost at this point....

I didn't specify the MySensors version in configuration.yaml, which defaults to 1.4 which doesn't support V_LEVEL...
Oh well, problem solved ^^
