The device for detection of the temperature in the interior of a vehicle, particularly for an air-conditioning system of a vehicle, is provided with an interior temperature sensor () arranged in a housing () arranged in or at a wall () adjacent to the interior () of the vehicle and being at least partially adjacent to the interior () of the vehicle, and a radiation sensor () detecting solar radiation leading to the heating of the housing () of the interior temperature sensor (). Further, the device is provided with a compensation temperature sensor () arranged behind the wall () and such that it is thermally decoupled from the interior temperature sensor () and detecting the heat of air and/or assemblies behind the wall (), which leads to a falsification of the measured value of the interior temperature sensor (). The two temperature sensors () and the radiation sensor () are combined in a common assembly.
