1. An induction device, comprising:
an induction unit;
a sensor unit which is arranged above and separate from the induction unit in a mounted position and includes a plurality of presence sensor elements arranged in a distributed manner and configured to detect a sensor parameter in the form of a presence parameter of an object; and
a control unit configured to analyze the sensor parameter,
wherein the sensor unit includes a plurality of activity sensor elements arranged in a distributed manner and configured to detect at least one sensor parameter in the form of an activity parameter of the induction unit,
the activity parameter is whether the induction unit is in an activated state,
the sensor unit includes a plurality of temperature sensor elements arranged in a distributed manner and configured to detect at least one sensor parameter in the form of a temperature parameter of at least one unit, and
at least one of the presence sensor elements and at least one of the temperature sensor elements are arranged on different layers of at least one substrate of the sensor unit.
