An electronic device for detecting an air flow includes at least one sensor having a pair of platelets, each platelet having an RTD and having one end fixed, the other end being free and overlapping the free end of the other platelet. A platelet is flexible so as to form a switch for an electrical circuit. An air flow with a speed higher than a predetermined speed makes the sensor go from a first state, corresponding to a closed switch, in which the free ends of the platelets are in contact, to a second state, corresponding to an open switch, in which said contact is broken. A detection module allows, for each sensor, a resistance of the electrical circuit to be measured, the resistance corresponding to the RTDs being connected in parallel when the switch is closed or to one of the RTDs when the switch is open.
