Cylinder sensor assembly

A method of operating a piston-cylinder assembly, the method comprising:

• supporting a housing on a cylinder;
• sensing, with a wire stroke sensor supported in the housing, a position of a piston relative to the cylinder;
• wirelessly communicating, with a wireless transmitter supported by the housing, a communication signal that is representative of a position sensed by the wire stroke sensor;
• and
• with a pressure sensor supported by the housing, sensing a pressure of fluid supplied to the cylinder wherein sensing a pressure includes sensing, with the pressure sensor, a pressure of a fluid between a first port on the housing and in fluid communication with a fluid supply and a second port on the housing and in fluid communication with the cylinder.
