The SI1145 is a low power infrared, ultraviolet and ambient light sensor with an I2C interface.

• Ultraviolet / Infrared / ambient light sensor
• Proximity sensor
• Independent LED drivers
• I2C interface up to 3.4 MBps

Sample projects available on GitHub

Purchasing

• SI1145 from Adafruit

The following application reads the sensor output Infrared, Ultraviolet and Visibility once per second and outputs the result on the output console:

Code Example

Si1145 sensor;

public override Task Initialize()
{
    Resolver.Log.Info("Initialize...");

    sensor = new Si1145(Device.CreateI2cBus());

    // Example that uses an IObservable subscription to only be notified when the filter is satisfied
    var consumer = Si1145.CreateObserver(
        handler: result => Resolver.Log.Info($"Observer: filter satisfied: {result.New.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux, old: {result.Old?.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux"),

        // only notify if the visible light changes by 100 lux (put your hand over the sensor to trigger)
        filter: result =>
        {
            if (result.Old is { } old)
            {
                // returns true if > 100lux change
                return ((result.New.VisibleLight.Value - old.VisibleLight.Value).Abs().Lux > 100);
            }
            return false;
        });

    sensor.Subscribe(consumer);

    // classical .NET events can also be used:
    sensor.Updated += (sender, result) =>
    {
        Resolver.Log.Info($" Visible Light: {result.New.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux");
        Resolver.Log.Info($" Infrared Light: {result.New.Infrared?.Lux:N2}Lux");
        Resolver.Log.Info($" UV Index: {result.New.UltravioletIndex:N2}Lux");
    };

    return Task.CompletedTask;
}

public override async Task Run()
