wireless sensor

Untethered monitoring device

A wireless sensor is a device that detects physical conditions—temperature, motion, humidity, pressure—and transmits data without cables, typically using radio frequencies or Bluetooth.

These sensors form the backbone of smart home systems, industrial monitoring, and IoT networks: The wireless sensors throughout the building track occupancy and adjust lighting automatically.
