A device that measures temperature using electrical components, particularly one that detects temperature changes through electrical signals or resistance changes.
From electro- (electricity) combined with psychrometer (from Greek psychros meaning cold and metron meaning measure), a hybrid term for an electrical temperature-measuring device.
Modern temperature sensors in your phone or thermostat work like electropsychrometers—they convert temperature into electrical signals that computers can read, bridging the gap between the physical world and digital information.
