MKR Carrier Light Sensor (APDS9960) Incompatible with Arduino Cloud

Official Hardware MKR Family MKR WiFi 1010

There is not resolution on this existing issue, see: MKR IoT Carrier - Faulty Light Sensor?

I do not quite understand where the problem emerges, my only guess is that there is some I2C conflict? The light sensor becomes unusable after calling ArduinoCloud.begin(). This is surprising because I imagine the light sensor is something a lot of IoT folks want to use with Arduino cloud.

Does the NINA module takeover I2C in some manner? carrier.Env seems to be fine (temperature and humidity).

Hi I experienced the same topic for light and proximity sensor. Did you maybe found a workaround?

I did not. I got as far as looking into all the other I2C addresses used with the IoT hardware and didn't find any that might conflict with the light sensor. I had to give up on the IoT altogether for now because of how it's threaded: I have a motor control system that can't just stop whenever IoT has an issue.
