Yes, you can do daylight simulations with OpenStudio. You can let EnergyPlus calculate the daylighting (for what that's worth), or you can use this measure to have Radiance do an annual daylight simulation and embed new lighting control schedules into the EnergyPlus model automatically. This is all documented here:
Radiance/OpenStudio Tutorial Reference Guide
This measure has not been updated in some time, save to ensure that it still runs with the latest versions of OpenStudio (which it does). It requires specific model objects be placed on the OSM and be wired up correctly, which is covered in the tutorial linked above. It calculates many of the useful daylight metrics -- save for ASE which we do not believe is useful.
