SENSORS

This is a very broad term and it is difficult to find precise information under this heading. An electronics engineer or person with a specific application in mind will mention a specific type of electronic sensor (sensor), for example one of the ones we have listed below. Broadly speaking, a sensor is a device that provides information from the environment or the operation of some equipment under the influence of a stimulus.

The electronic sensors include: accelerometers, alarm sensors, pressure sensors, air purity sensors, sound sensors, gesture sensors, limit sensors, gas sensors, light sensors, magnetic sensors, pressure sensors, reflection sensors, distance sensors, movement sensors, current sensors, humidity sensors... There are plenty of them, including special series of Gravity and Grove ecosystems cooperating with Arduino and Raspberry Pi .

For the safety of household members, you should first consider purchasing detectors protecting against fire or gas leaks (carbon monoxide, smoke, natural gas and, if necessary, also LPG) sensors. When building a smart home installation, you can expand the scope to include temperature, humidity and lighting sensors.
