humidity sensor

Measures air wetness

A humidity sensor is a device that measures the moisture content in air or other gases.

Found in weather stations, HVAC systems, and consumer electronics, these sensors help maintain comfort levels, prevent mold growth, and protect sensitive equipment: The humidity sensor triggered the dehumidifier when levels exceeded 60%.
