Ambient Light from Presence Sensor

I've recently purchased a Wireless Human Presence Sensor (LWR01) and am trying to integrate its full functionality into Google Home automations.

I'm attempting to create a routine or automation that triggers a light switch only when human presence is detected AND the ambient light level drops below a specific value (e.g., it's dark enough).

Currently, when setting up a "Starter" or "Condition" within Google Home, I only see the following device states for the LWR01 sensor:

  • Occupied

  • Unoccupied

The crucial ambient light sensor data from the LWR01 does not appear to be available for use as a condition or trigger.

I tried to work around this by writing a Google Home Script Editor automation, but attempting to reference the device state for ambient light throws an error, suggesting this attribute is not exposed or recognized.

My question is: How can I access and use the ambient light level from the Wireless Human Presence Sensor (LWR01) as a condition in Google Home automations or scripts?

Any guidance on how to properly expose or utilize this sensor data would be greatly appreciated.
