Abstract

The present sensing device comprises a sensor (1, ) for providing sensor data representative of a quantity to be measured. Together with the sensor (1, ) a radio frequency interface (2, ) for transmitting the sensor data is arranged in a casing (3, ). The casing (3, ) comprises an opening (33, ) for exposing a sensitive element (11, ) of the sensor (1, ) to an environment of the casing (3, ). A seal (4, ) is provided for sealing the opening (33, ) against an interior (3, ) of the casing (3, ). The sensing device can be used as autonomous humidity detector for detecting humidity e.g. in cars under test.
