Ambient light test data

[albinekb]

Regarding #1 it would be nice to have something to test the brightness with.
Is there anything out there to intercept the API?
Maybe should we build a simple hook to be able to run a script to for example:

• Fake fade between dark and light "ambient light" (to be able to test dynamic theme coloring)

Sorry I couldn't answer you earlier.

The ambient() api is rather primitive, and now it doesn't out of the box support intercepting it..

While implementing it, I used a flashlight to get high ambient data readings and/or just covered it with my hand. But a more proper method for trying it out would definitely make it easier.

A lazy idea would just to rewrite ambient() to return looping values of [dark, shadows, outside, shadows].

But I'm sure open for more proper/better solutions. Maybe we should even just make the ambient() to take like {debug: true} to return values that would cover the transition from dark to light and back.

Btw, I got following ambient light readings when I was implementing it:

where	lux
Dark	0
Darkish room	116072
Next to window (not in direct sunlight)	2487192
Outside shadows	4886520
Outside still shadows	8014320
Direct sunlight	67092480
