The UV index was originally a linear scale from 0-11, but there have been higher readings now that the ozone layer is thinner.
Here is a link to a week's worth of data from my weather station. UV is at the bottom.
There is a Wikipedia page with a chart at the bottom showing common values.

Some clarification questions:
- Is there where the firmware version is displayed
- When I add it to my system, I get the 7 of 8 children added message. I assume that means that I'm missing a child device. I've tried removing and re-adding, but still 7 of 8. Is that the correct process? I'm on HS3 Pro 3.0.0.199 and Z-Wave 3.0.1.25.
- Is there anything I'm missing with the setup or use of this device?
Thanks!

So, I really don't have an answer what the missing child node is. Mine are all working fine with the 7 child nodes created. UV will not report changes of less than 2 in the index and the only way I have been able to get it to report is to aim it at the sky, then I got a reading of 4, followed by 2 later in the afternoon, then 0 after about 4:00pm. Indoors they are not going to report because all of my glass is UV blocking.
The luminance is completely different than the multi-sensor 5. The series 6 will read above 1000, my driveway unit reported about 7800 the first day. They also report much lower numbers in the 0-1000 range than the series 5 units. Where mu series 5 outdoor units would hit 1000 just after sunrise, these take about 1-1.5 hours before they hit that number. I am going to take a light meter outside sometime in the next few days and see how they compare.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.0 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon

Originally posted by rprade View PostThat is the same way all of mine added. 7 of 8 child devices. 1.6 is the latest firmware according to Chrisopher Cheng of Aeon. There seems to be some confusion about a "vibration" detector that is described in the literature. According to Christopher that is really the tamper detection, which shows up under Home Security. I don't know if that is true.

This is weird. what kind of default value is this?
240sec before it goes from motion/no-motion? And lowest value is 10 seconds on PIR time?
Then it has a value of 3600sec before it reports anything?!
I can't say i like this sensor that much. other than that it has USB connection and humidity sensing.Certified installer for HomeSeer, Control4, KNX and Eaton/xComfort
