Need help with shell script permission denied

[Xaon420]

Shell script(no root):
cat /sys/class/sensors/light_sensor

Output:
cat: /sys/class/sensors/light_sensor: Permission denied

How the In the world do I get permission for it? Apps can read these sensors fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated and will try it or someway to read the lightsensor without using a trigger or constraint.

Edit: so even LS -a Returns this(Screenshot1)

I tryed and in my /sys/ directory there's no sensors folder. I could find sensors folder in /mnt/vendor/persist/ and there was nothing readable. Without root, my explorer is not even able to read in /sys/ folder, so that's propably the reason.

You can access via Termux api instead.

Have tried but I still get permission error, and cat should be okay but is there anything else that can read sensors(light specifically) and return it to a file or macrodroid?

With a file: I can read whatever is in it, however I still can't read the sensor using cat

Using shell script to read sensors: needs permissions to read folder at all

Will try this, but do you know anyway I can find/look through these folders without "My files" app? As I had no idea there was a chance for it to be out of the /sys/ folder

Edit:
using:
cat /mnt/vendor/persist/
returns the Following again:

I am using MiXplorer to check in root directories. If you are android 11 or higher always make sure to check use helper app checkbox. MacroDroid currently hasn't all file access, so I doubt it has any possibility to access root folder.
