The present disclosure relates to a method of differentiating the absence of excreta, a first type of excreta and a second type of excreta in an absorbent hygiene article, such as a diaper, internally or externally provided fixedly or removably with strip elements, the strip element includes a first temperature sensing element for detecting temperature and a first impedance sensing element for detecting impedance. The method comprises the steps of a first set of steps, the first set comprising the steps of: detecting a first temperature value with a first temperature sensing element; a first impedance value is detected with a first impedance sensing element. The method further comprises at least one step of a second set of steps comprising the steps of: determining the absence of excrement in the first portion of the absorbent hygiene article if the first temperature value does not cross the first temperature threshold and the first impedance value does not cross the first impedance threshold; if the first te
