Abstract
An apparatus and a method for operating a rain sensor (10) that outputs a sensor signal (18, 22) as a function of the wetting of a window (11) are proposed, having a controller (16) which as a function of the sensor signal (18, 22) outputs a control signal (28) to the rain sensor (10) for regulating the sensor signal (18, 22); for signal evaluation, the sensor signal (18, 22) and in addition the control signal (28) are used for tripping switching events of a device.
