FIELD: aerosol-generating devices.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions related to an aerosol-generating device, an aerosol-generating system, and a detector device for detecting residues of an aerosol-forming substrate in the aerosol-generating device. The aerosol-generating device comprises a cavity for housing an aerosol-generating product and containing an aerosol-forming substrate, a heater configured to heat the aerosol-forming substrate placed in the cavity, a power supply, a residue detection means for detecting residues of the aerosol-forming substrate, cavity or on the heater and controller. The controller is configured to control the supply of power from the power supply to the heater for heating the aerosol-forming substrate placed in the cavity, receiving signals from the residue detection means indicating the amount of residue of the aerosol-forming substrate in the cavity or on the heater, and determining an indicator of the amount of substrate residue, forming an aerosol, in a cavity or on a heater based on one or more signals received from a residue detector.
EFFECT: reducing the accumulation of aerosol-forming substrate residues on the aerosol-generating device.
