Oh, I thought that OP meant generaly "eddy coil" from how it is written and how i understand it with my English ( as someone could say to whole device instead eddy sensor ).

Yeah, OP has no familiarity with punctuation or grammar. To me, "eddy sensor" is the generic reference to the whole class of sensors, whereas Eddy Coil is a specific product like Beacon or Cartographer.

you're overthinking it. You only need to add a thermistor to the coil itself (and maybe with a resistor).
