smart sensor
Clever monitoring device
A smart sensor is a device that not only detects physical phenomena—temperature, pressure, motion, light—but also processes that data internally before transmitting it.
Unlike basic sensors that simply relay raw readings, smart sensors can filter noise, recognize patterns, or trigger responses: The smart sensors detected occupancy and adjusted the lighting automatically.
They're fundamental to the Internet of Things, enabling systems that react intelligently to their environment.
