Hello,

I’ve just received the [Tuya ZG-205Z/A control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/ZG-205Z_A.html#tuya-zg-205z%252Fa)

It is properly recognized by Zigbee2mqtt:

In my opinion, you only need the presence feature; the others are just configuration.  
I already have 3 at home and I only use the presence feature.

At least the brightness still needs to be added.

Besides, I don’t mind going through zigbee2mqtt for the config.

Indeed, brightness is very useful!

However, on my end I do have both of these features 🤔

in the Z2M state tab my illuminance is called illuminance\_lux

can you screenshot the JSON please?

Mine is simply illuminance:

```auto

    "illuminance": 722,
    "indicator": "ON",
    "large_motion_detection_distance": 6,

If you want the illuminance report, I can add it.

Warning, some devices provide both features, illuminance and illmuninance\_lux…

Maybe, but on my side illmuninance\_lux is typed into gladys and not illuminance for @Hizo 🙂  
Is this a new feature?

One of the two is in lux units, the other I don’t know. Check on the zigbee2mqtt website.

In any case, if there’s a way, I want the info to be added even if the unit isn’t specified.

thanks 🙂

</div>

So maybe we should rename the request, since millimeter sensors are handled properly?

I’m closing this topic as it seems illuminance is indeed available in Gladys (`illuminance` and `illuminance_lux`)
