Summary of SCIOSENSE’S ENS210 RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR WITH I²C INTERFACE
ScioSense ENS210 is a compact digital sensor combining a relative humidity sensor and a high-accuracy temperature sensor in a QFN4 package with an I²C slave interface. It offers high accuracy (±0.15°C, ±2.0% RH), low power, fast response, wide voltage range, low drift, and pre-calibrated digital outputs. Typical applications include home appliances, climate control, transportation monitoring, wireless nodes, health devices, and industrial automation. An ENS210 Evaluation Kit with an ENS210 shield and USB-to-I²C dongle provides PC control, logging, and reference documentation for quick integration.
Parts used in the ENS210 Project:
- ENS210 sensor (QFN4 packaged humidity and temperature sensor)
- ENS210 shield (part of the evaluation kit)
- USB-to-I²C dongle (part of the evaluation kit)
- USB cable (for PC connection and power)
- Windows PC (to run the evaluation application)
- Evaluation kit documentation (quick start guide, user manual, application notes)
- Reference drivers (for easy design-in)
ScioSense’s ENS210 is a high-performance digital output sensor that monolithically integrates one relative humidity sensor and one high-accuracy temperature sensor. The device is encapsulated in a QFN4 package and includes an I²C slave interface for communication with a master processor.

Available Tool: Evaluation Kit For ENS210
The ENS210 Evaluation Kit is a combination of an ENS210 shield and a USB-to-I²C dongle. The evaluation kit connects to a Windows PC via USB port, and the sensor is powered via the USB connector. It can be controlled by a Windows PC-based application, which demonstrates the relative humidity and temperature values measured by the sensor. The PC application can also be used for logging sensor data and monitoring the I²C transaction. The evaluation kit can also be used for quick integration into the end customer’s application. The ENS210 evaluation kit comes with an extensive set of documentation such as a quick start guide, a user manual, application notes, and others, and reference drivers for easy design-in.
