Multi-function sensors, sometimes called smart sensors, are designed with particular behaviours to suit specialist applications. They are referred to as Multi-Function Sensors as they can combine several functions in different applications such as environment control, health monitoring, and premises security.

An example would be ensuring a business premises is kept comfortable for personnel. A smart sensor would be a vital part of the facility's systems by being able to measure air quality, temperature and humidity and alter heating and air conditioning as required. Multi-Function Sensors can even measure ambient light levels and adjust smart lighting accordingly. Consequently, a good multi-function sensor can improve efficiency and save costs on energy bills.

Types of Multi-Function Sensors

• Humidity Sensor: A humidity sensor is a device that detects and measures water vapour in the form of an electric signal, useful for HVAC and smart building and facilities management.
• AC Current Sensor: AC Current sensors are used for measuring alternating current. This type of sensor can be clamped around either a live or neutral wire to see how much current is passing through.
• Duct Sensors: A duct sensor is a device used to measure and monitor the humidity or air quality within HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) ducts. It helps ensure that the air being circulated is at the desired conditions, making it essential for maintaining comfortable and efficient indoor environments in homes, offices, and industrial buildings.
• Condensation Sensors: A condensation sensor detects the presence of moisture or water droplets on surfaces, helping to prevent issues like mold growth or water damage. These sensors are commonly used in HVAC systems, refrigeration units, and industrial equipment to ensure proper functioning and maintain safe, dry conditions.
