An aerosol-generating system comprising an electrochemical sensor switch

Abstract

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including: an aerosol-generating article including an aerosol-forming substrate and an aerosol-forming marker; and an aerosol-generating device configured to receive the aerosol-generating article, the aerosol-generating device including: control electronics, an electrochemical sensor switch operably coupled to the control electronics, the electrochemical sensor switch being configured to change from a first state to a second state when the electrochemical sensor switch detects an amount of the aerosol-forming marker that is above or below a predetermined threshold amount, and a heater operably coupled to the control electronics via the electrochemical sensor switch, the control electronics being configured to cause the heater to deactivate when the electrochemical sensor switch changes from the first state to the second state, and the aerosol-generating article including a reservoir containing the aerosol-forming marker, the reservoir including a capsule including an outer shell formed from a thermally degradable material.
