1. A dressing interface for connecting a reduced-pressure source to a tissue interface and sensing properties of fluids at a tissue site, the dressing interface comprising:
a housing having an outside surface, a therapy cavity, a component cavity, and a dressing aperture, the therapy cavity and the component cavity being disposed between the outside surface and the dressing aperture, and the dressing aperture configured to be fluidly coupled to the tissue interface;
a wall disposed within the housing and configured to seal the therapy cavity from the component cavity, the component cavity being disposed between the outside surface and the wall and the therapy cavity being disposed between the wall and the dressing aperture;
a reduced-pressure port fluidly coupled to the therapy cavity and adapted to fluidly couple the reduced-pressure source to the tissue interface;
a control device having a microprocessor and a wireless transmitter disposed within the component cavity, wherein the wireless transmitter is electrically coupled to the microprocessor; and
a pH sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a pressure sensor, each sensor disposed within the therapy cavity and electrically coupled to the microprocessor through the wall.
