Remote infrared sensors are unique in their ability to measure something they are pointed at, but not touching, and we've been looking for a replacement for the now-discontiued TMP007 for a few years. The Adafruit MLX90632 FIR Temperature Sensor features a compact and low cost 'remote' infrared sensor. These are great when you want to measure the temperature of something very hot or very cold or maybe something that's delicate and tough to attach a probe to.
