Melexis Contact-less Infrared Sensor - MLX90614 5V

This cyber-tronic looking sensor hides a secret behind its glimmering eye. Unlike most temperature sensors, this sensor measures infrared light emitted off of remote objects so it can sense temperature without having to touch them physically.

Air quality

Choose between MQ gas sensors, VOC/eCO2 indoor-air sensors, true CO2 modules and particulate sensors without treating every air-quality breakout as the same detector.

Temp and humidity

DHT11, DHT22/AM2302, and DHT20/AHT20 sensors solve the same broad job, but only some are acceptable substitutes in the same circuit.

Light and colour

Photoresistors and color sensors both respond to light, but they expose very different signals and are not sensible drop-in substitutes.
