Soft reset for this sensor

[TinManAkshay]

Hi all -

I've been using this sensor for a while now without any issues. Recently I came across an issue where sensor was providing regular Lux values and randomly, sensor was just stuck at one value. In other words, Lux value doesn't at all. I was wondering if there is a way to reset a sensor or soft reboot in the code in a scenario like when sensor doesn't give any new value. I'd appreciate all the possibilities.

Thanks,
Akshay

Does toggling the light_shutdown property have any effect? It's the shutdown but not sure if it is what you're looking for:

import time
import board
import adafruit_veml7700

i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
# i2c = board.STEMMA_I2C()  # For using the built-in STEMMA QT connector on a microcontroller
veml7700 = adafruit_veml7700.VEML7700(i2c)

veml7700.light_shutdown = True
time.sleep(0.1)
veml7700.light_shutdown = False

Closing this after no reply.

I does appear to me that light_shutdown is the closest thing this library has to a turn off / on or reset type action so that is the best thing to try.
