macals
Python module for accessing the ambient light sensor on macOS
Usage
Command Line
python -m macals
This will iterate all ambient light sensors and their lux values.
Python
from macals import list_sensors
for sensor in list_sensors:
print(f'{sensor.name}: {sensor.get_current_lux()} lux')
There is likely only ever to be a single sensor, so macals.find_sensor() is probably fine to use, which just returns the first.
from macals import find_sensor
sensor = find_sensor()
print(f'{sensor.name}: {sensor.get_current_lux()} lux')
You can also just use the LightSensor class if you know the service name:
from macals import LightSensor
sensor = LightSensor('AppleSPUVD6286')
print(f'{sensor.name}: {sensor.get_current_lux()} lux')
