Hello, I have a hue outdoor motion sensor and am using AltHue in Vera the light sensor reports what I think is the light level (extremely high) as opposed to the actual lux level
If I create a virtual sensor is then possible have a calculation to reduce and display a lower lux level?
I have OCD so the 38571 compared to my other sensors is freaking me out 
Thanks
It’s possible.
Great stuff, now i just need to figure out how…half way through my fishing book
Think about what the expression/variable is doing for you in the dimmer solution… 
Oh, and remember that getstate() returns a string, so you have to use tonumber() to convert it to a number first if you’re going to do math with it.
Ok so I have created my virtual sensor and currently it displays the same lux as the actual device
I have created a reactor sensor
Cracked it like this…I think
So I think this is correct I just need to figure how to remove the decimal places
There’s a round() function that takes a number and a number of decimal places (e.g. round(1.25,0) will give you 1, where round(1.25,1) yields 1.3)
Ah OK so a bit like excel, thanks
Yes, it’s a bit of a blend of Excel, Lua, and C/C++/Java/JavaScript family. See also:
https://www.toggledbits.com/static/reactor/docs/Expressions-%26-Variables/
Sorry but the round will that go in expressions or activities
Yes! . . .
Both?
Thanks
Either. Where would it make most sense to you? I would choose the expressions, because then you see the actual result being assigned to the sensor in the Status view of the ReactorSensor.
ok thanks, struggling on then
ok I’m giving up for tonight ;-(
I have tried round in just about every combination I can think of…but obviously not the right one as I still cant get this to work
just one of many attempts
Please post logic summaries rather than screen shots. This gives us a better picture of everything in the ReactorSensor.
Thank you

OMG so simple, I was putting in the brackets, behind the brackets, never thought to put it in front of everything!!
Thank you sorry to have wasted so much of your time on such a simple thing
Thanks
Ok so the formulas are all correct now thanks to rigpapa and the virtual sensor is showing the correct reading but every 5 mins it seems to revert back to the old reading ie 33333 instead of 333 , so I tried to put a interval in the condition of 1 minute into the condition but when I do that it doesnt update
