The Euclid plug-in doesn't allow you to add the location of a daylight sensor. From the Euclid project page,

One caveat on the update for EnergyPlus 8.6: The Daylighting:Controls object has changed in 8.6 and is not yet handled correctly. In the meantime the Daylighting:Controls tool and rendering has been temporarily disabled.
