I have no idea how on earth Apple thought that 6000 is the max lux for the outside brightness. Someone skipped physics...The only way for me to do this is using some third party app for HomeKit automation..like Eve home. That app allows you to set triggers in HomeKit up to 100000 lux...which is a bright day...

I use it to turn on the lights when outside light level drops below certain levels during the day...
