Hello,
I have a motion sensor that is also a illuminance sensor. The device is paired with HomeKit via the Matter bridge, but I noticed that HomeKit does not display any options or data related to the brightness sensor.

Is it possible to unlock the light sensor features for matter?

Greetings,

I will update the relevant configuration of this device of the PIR state and battery percentage.
After reading my reply, please try the following steps:
1. Remove the device from the current gateway
2. Add the device to the gateway again and perform the Matter bridge
3. Then check whether the data is normal.

Thank you for your reply.

After adding the sensor again, it is as it was before. Presence and battery status are displayed. Light intensity level is not displayed.
