The light sensor is a passive device that converts the light energy into an electrical signal output.The product can turn on or turn off light according to ambient-light; Ambient-temperature and humidity can't affect it. It is not only convenient but also practical, it can control the load working only at night. For instance road light, garden light etc. Its also known as Photocell Sensor, Light Sensor

A photocell is a resistor that changes resistance depending on the amount of light incident on it. A photocell operates on semiconductor photoconductivity: the energy of photons hitting the semiconductor frees electrons to flow, decreasing the resistance.

Touch sensors can support multiple electrodes, where several different applications can be controlled by one sensor. By multiplexing the electrodes, the single sensor becomes an extension for detection at multiple points. For example, capacitive touch sensors are user interface controllers that manage multiple configurations of touch pads, sliders, rotary positions and mechanical keys.

Current Sensor detects the current in a wire or conductor and generates a signal proportional to the detected current either in the form of analog voltage or digital output.
Current Sensing is done in two ways – Direct sensing and Indirect Sensing. In Direct sensing, to detect current, Ohm’s law is used to measure the voltage drop occurred in a wire when current flows through it.
A current-carrying conductor also gives rise to a magnetic field in its surrounding. In Indirect Sensing, the current is measured by calculating this magnetic field by applying either Faraday’s law or Ampere law. Here either a Transformer or Hall effect sensor or fiberoptic current sensor are used to sense the magnetic field.
ACS712 Current Sensor uses Indirect Sensing method to calculate the current. To sense current a liner, low-offset Hall sensor circuit is used in this IC. This sensor is located at the surface of the IC on a copper conduction path. When current flows through this copper conduction path it generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the Hall effect sensor. A voltage proportional to the sensed magnetic field is generated by the Hall sensor, which is used to measure current.
The proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall sensor decides the accuracy of the device. Nearer the magnetic signal higher the accuracy. ACS712 Current Sensor is available as a small, surface mount SOIC8 package. In this IC current flows from Pin-1 and Pin-2 to Pin-3 and Pin-4. This forms the conduction path where the current is sensed. Implementation of this IC is very easy.
