An aerosol-generating device for generating aerosol from an aerosol-generating article, the aerosol-generating device comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to determine a humidity of the aerosol-generating article;
- and
- a controller configured to control at least one function of a plurality of control functions of the aerosol-generating device based on the humidity of the aerosol-generating article determined by the at least one sensor,
- wherein the at least one sensor comprises at least one acoustic sensor.
A method of operating an aerosol-generating system,
- the aerosol-generating system comprising an aerosol-generating device configured to generate aerosol from an aerosol-generating article, the aerosol-generating device being further configured to be coupled to the aerosol-generating article, the aerosol-generating device comprising a controller configured to control at least one function of a plurality of control functions of the aerosol-generating device, and the aerosol-generating device comprising at least one sensor configured to determine a humidity of the aerosol-generating article when the aerosol-generating article is coupled to the aerosol-generating device, the at least one sensor comprising at least one acoustic sensor,
- the method comprising the steps of:
- determining the humidity of the aerosol-generating article when the aerosol-generating article is coupled to the aerosol-generating device;
- and
- controlling at least one function of the plurality of control functions of the aerosol-generating device based on the humidity of the aerosol-generating article.
