ok if you think this would be interesting i can make a pr for it. i just updated the driver and tested with my hardware, it works fine. i will provide a pr in the next few days.
i still have another interresting driver for the eQ3 max devices (window sensors and thermostats). however they recently were declared end of life. so it makes no sense to pr
@stefanbode ok, made a branch ready for pr. But i am not happy with the adafruit library because it works with delay() for integration time. it has to be redesigned to circumvent this. i am currently busy with other things. feel free to rewrite the code without delays and pr
Ok, I will take a look at it. It could be that for the light measurement the delay is mandatory because of the way it gets measured. I already see this on other devices that took on low light up to 1 second
there is the option to use an extra IRQ pin but i would prefer to use only SDA,SCL
i use this in a battery operated luxmeter with a small OLED display. In this use case i do not mind the delay. it works well. in Tasmota however for general use we must get rid of it
Tasmota does not support TCS34725. as already said i use this driver in a lux meter and it works well. however since it is synchronous it blocks the tasmota loop for quite some time while getting values. this is not allowed in Tasmota. You will have to rewrite the driver for asynchronous requests before it may be added to Tasmota.
You can use TCS34725 async library to write the driver: [https://github.com/ysard/TCS34725]
