I have 3 Aeon Labs multi-sensors (the older ones, not the Gen5).
Two at the front (garage and kitchen side in the screenshot) and one at the back (lounge). Its pretty dark right now, so fine that two are showing 2-4 Lux. Not sure why the other hasn't updated since the middle of the day, but I don't rely on that one, although when it is lighter that one tends to be more accurate. Whilst typing the lux value updated to 52. Quite different to the others, but perhaps it gets hit by the outside lights a little. It is pretty common in the day for this to say 500 when the others say 100 though, even on really bright days. Makes it hard to calibrate a script for light automation when I can't get a reliable range for when it will feel dark inside.
In terms of temperature though, I'd expect both front ones to be the same. Maybe the back a little warmer as it isn't quite as windy, but 8.1, 9.7, 11.6? 2 degrees difference. I have a script which ups the thermostat inside if the temperature is below 10degC, so this is quite an important point.
