## Ambient Sensor

### What is it?

This project is a ambient environment sensor that gathers the luminosity, temperature, humidity, and pressure.  This data is transmitted in real time to my Home Assistant server via MQTT over Ethernet.

### Why?

I wanted to explore real-time adjustments of lighting, and window coverings to maintain constant light levels in a room, which requires high sample rates (multiple samples per second) for responsive adjustments.

When I started this project there were no high-sample rate luminosity sensors for home automation.  The devices that did exist either had low sample rates (minutes vs milliseconds), or were designed for scientific applications.
