1. A sensor for a sensing system comprising a chain of these sensors, the sensor comprising an input control port, an output control port, a power interface and an output interface, wherein the sensor is configured such that, when the sensor is powered over the power interface, an enable signal at the input control port triggers the sensor for executing a sequence which comprises measuring a physical property, and subsequently transmitting an enable signal over the output control port, wherein the sensor is configured for outputting a result of the measurement over the output interface.
