A sensor module placeable outside a cap attachable to an opening section of a container containing a content, the sensor module being configured to be housed in a housing, includes: a sensor section; and a lens section. The sensor section includes: a transmission and reception section: and a computation section. The transmission and reception section includes: a transmitter configured to transmit an electric wave; and a receiver configured to receive the electric wave. The electric wave that the transmitter transmits passes through the cap and enters the container. The electric wave that the receiver receives is a reflected wave resulting from the electric wave being reflected by the content in the container. The lens section faces the transmission and reception section. The computation section is configured to compute a remaining amount of the content, based on a time interval from (i) the transmitter transmitting the electric wave to (ii) the receiver receiving the reflected wave.
