A temperature and humidity sensor is an electronic device that measures the humidity in its environment and converts its findings into a corresponding electrical signal. Humidity sensors are commonly used in the meteorology, medical, automobile, HVAC and manufacturing industries. It is the measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air. Humidity is
