Hi, Is there any chance to add more than one sensor point to control daylight in “Set Energyplus Zone Thresholds” component?
Kind regards,
Negin

No, it’s not natively supported by honeybee energy. If you’re modeling a daylight system that is that advanced to have 10 sensors in a single daylight zone, it’s usually better to model the daylight with Radiance and then use the results to generate lighting schedules for EnergyPlus.
Or, if you are using LBT, you might be able to split your Room into several Rooms with a sensor in each region that the sensor controls. And you’ll use AirBoundaries between the Rooms to ensure daylight can pass from one room to another. Notably, this Strategy ONLY WORKS in LBT because air walls in Legacy were completely opaque.
