Liquid detection in a sensor environment and remedial action thereof

A device comprising:

• a housing unit with an internal volume;
• a sensor comprising a heating element configured to generate heat, wherein the sensor is 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;
• and
• a moisture detection unit electrically coupled to the sensor, wherein the moisture detection unit comprises at least two looped wires at different heights, and wherein the moisture detection unit is configured to detect presence of a moisture within an interior environment of the housing unit when the moisture detection unit becomes in direct contact with the moisture, and wherein a control circuitry within the sensor is configured to turn on the heating element responsive to the moisture detection circuitry detecting presence of moisture.
