# Light We use a **phototransistor** as our light sensor. This sensor is able to tell the **intensity of light in %** (we cannot report exact lumens). This can be useful in various applications (e.g. you want to know if a package was opened before it's delivered). The API 6 works with light **thresholds**. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
