An apparatus for generating aerosol from an aerosolizable medium is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing; a chamber for receiving an article, a sensor and a cover system. The article includes an aerosolizable medium and a detectable element provided in association with the article. The sensor is configured to sense the detectable element when an article is received within the chamber. The cover system can be configured in at least a first configuration to substantially cover the sensor, and a second configuration, in which a field of view of the sensor is substantially without obstruction.
