ESP32 ESP-IDF and ESP8266 RTOS SDK component for BH1750 ambient light sensor

Tested on

1. ESP8266 RTOS_SDK v3.4
2. ESP32 ESP-IDF v5.2

Features

1. Recorded illuminance values from 0.11 to 121241 lux (depends on operation mode and sensitivity).
2. Support automatically sensitivity adjustment.

Using

In an existing project, run the following command to install the component:

cd ../your_project/components
git clone https://github.com/aZholtikov/zh_bh1750.git

In the application, add the component:

#include "zh_bh1750.h"

Example

Reading the sensor:

#include "zh_bh1750.h"

#define I2C_PORT (I2C_NUM_MAX - 1)

void app_main(void)
{
    esp_log_level_set("zh_bh1750", ESP_LOG_NONE);

        printf("Lux %0.2f\n", lux);
        vTaskDelay(5000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
    }
