SI1145: A digital sensor of UV Index/IR/Visible Light/Proximity

The SI1145 is a sensor from Silicon Laboratories with a calibrated light sensing algorithm that can calculate UV Index.

DataSheet:

https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/data-sheets/Si1145-46-47.pdf

Features:

• IR Sensor Spectrum: Wavelength: 550nm-1000nm (centered on 800)
• Visible Light Sensor Spectrum: Wavelength: 400nm-800nm (centered on 530)
• Voltage Supply: Power with 3-5VDC
• Output Type: I2C address 0x60 (7-bit)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C

Driver version for developers

The driver version for developers (si1145-dev.py) is slightly larger in size as it contains comments to help understanding
