An instrumented component (18, 19) for use in various operating environments such as the hot gas path section of a combustion turbine engine (10). The component (18, 19) may have a substrate, a sensor (50, 204, 210) connected with the substrate for sensing a condition of the component (18, 19) within the casing during operation of the combustion turbine (10) and a connector (52, 202) attached to the substrate and in communication with the sensor (50, 204, 210) for routing a data signal from the sensor (50, 204, 210) to a termination location (53). The component (18, 19) may include a wireless telemetry device (54, 202) in communication with the connector (52, 202) for wirelessly transmitting the data signal outside the casing. A transceiver (56) may be located outside the casing for receiving the data signal and transmitting it to a processing module (30) for developing information with respect to a condition of the component (18, 19) or a coating (26) deposited on the component (18, 19).
