    Abstract: A device includes a housing unit with an internal volume. The device further includes a sensor coupled to a substrate via an electrical coupling, wherein the sensor is disposed within the internal volume of the housing unit, and wherein the sensor is in communication with an external environment of the housing unit from a side other than a side associated with the substrate. The device also includes a moisture detection unit electrically coupled to the sensor, wherein the moisture detection unit comprises at least two looped wires forming electrodes, and wherein the moisture detection unit is configured to detect presence of a moisture within an interior environment of the housing unit by measuring a capacitance between the electrodes and by detecting a change between the measured capacitance and a capacitance between the electrodes in absence of moisture.
