Air Purifier Pro: support for sound volume level and fix for bright propery #157
Conversation
…ness Air Purifier Pro contains a brightness level sensor (on top, right next to the mode selection button). The bright propery contains the value based on this sensor. Value ranges from 0 to 200.

OK, I've tested the bright value against another illuminance sensor and the value seems to be in lux. The value is not equal to the other sensor, but there's a difference of about 3 lx - probably because of where the sensor is located and gets slightly less light than the other one. |
The name illuminance is more appropriate to the function of the value than brightness

I've changed the name of the brightness property to illuminance. It's more appropriate regarding it's function. For example in the Home Assistant, illuminance is a type of sensor providing information about the amount of light. |

Looks good! 👍 |

@rytilahti can you point me to where's the best place to add that information in the code? |
|
@yawor I'd say directly into the docstring of the method, simply by adding "reported in lux, values between [0-200]" or similar would do fine. The point is just to make it somewhat visible for anyone stumbling upon that code / trying to use it in their own code. |

Looks great, thanks! |
The Air Purifier Pro has a property controlling the volume level of sound notifications, which are used when any command is sent to it. I've added support for the property and a method to set it's value. The range is from 0 (mute) to 100 (full volume). I don't know if Air Purifier 2 also has this property or not.
There's a photosensitive element on top of the Air Purifier Pro (right next to the power/mode selection button). It's value is held in the bright property, which has been improperly used as a LED brightness for this model. Air Purifier Pro display probably doesn't support changing brightness. The value for the bright property changes from 0 (no light detected) up to 200. I don't know what's the unit it is given in. I've got 200 when I've used my phone's LED flashlight directly on the sensor.
