Sensor unit (2) for a suction hood (1), wherein the sensor unit (2) controls or can control the suction hood (1), wherein the sensor unit (2) comprises a sensor operated mode, wherein an operation of the suction hood (1) is dependent on a measured value of at least one sensor (21, 22)
- wherein the at least one sensor includes a sonar distance sensor activated by proximity of a cooking vessel, and a processing unit activates the suction hood after the measured value from the sonar distance sensor exceeds a threshold value for a predefined time span.
A cooking system, comprising:
- an induction cooking device comprising a glass ceramic cooking hob;
- and
- a suction hood comprising a sensor unit,
- wherein the sensor unit controls or can control the suction hood, the sensor unit comprising a sensor operated mode, wherein an operation of the suction hood is dependent on a measured value of at least one sensor, and
- wherein the sensor unit is activated by magnetic fields, wherein the sensor unit comprises a switching unit which determines a working mode of the suction hood, wherein a type of measured values measured by the sensor unit can be selected.
