    Yes, it looks fine. What exactly error are you having? From your first serial monitor, it looks like your sensor woke on every 10min aprox, ( 6608 / 11148 / 15441 ).

    The DHT gives only output the first start and the pir interrupt works perfect.

    When delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod()); is activated the DHT works and the pit interrupts the whole time :(
    In this configuration the arduino never sleeps ..

      So PIR must connect on PIN 1 and not PIN 3.

      Edit: Better, how did you connect DHT and PIR?

      @rvendrame When the PIR is connected to PIN3 the interrupt is INT1. Pin 1 does not have an interrupt.

      Only pin 2 and pin 3 have an interrupt.

      Pin 2 = int0
      pin 3 = int1

        if you put the delay() inside that 'if ( mills() > mytime ) ' , what happens?

          @Sweebee is it possible to fix the problem when DHT is connected to pin 4?

                    This can't work well. Your interrupt is set on pin1 - 2 = int-1?

                    What happens when you remove the pir and use a switch instead?

                      @Sweebee
                      is #define INTERRUPT PIR_SENSOR_DIGITAL-2 wrong?

                      when i use a switch it looks OK

                        @n3ro , what is wrong at your last test? The PIR is reporting 0 and 1, and from time to time there is a temp/hum report as well.

                            Which arduino PIN do you use to connect the PIR?

                                Perfect. If it is working fine with a switch --- Maybe your PIN is triggering false positives? Or maybe the PIR output is floating a bit, and arduino is triggering it more than it should?

                                  If a switch works than the only could be the pir itself. You have enabled the pull-up resistor so an open collector should not give floats.

                                  You already told that a sketch with a pir only worked fine?

                                  Well, i can test what happens with my dht22 and a pir tomorrow (with your sketch).

                                    If a switch works than the only could be the pir itself. You have enabled the pull-up resistor so an open collector should not give floats.

                                    You already told that a sketch with a pir only worked fine?

                                    Well, i can test what happens with my dht22 and a pir tomorrow (with your sketch).

                                      you are sending an update on the PIR status every time the arduino wakes from a sleep, which you don't need.

                                      Also, and this probably isn't a problem right now, but will case a problem later, use unsigned subtraction in your millis( ) timers

                                      could not see where you were using the library, so I commented it out below, not having it on my computer

                                        Hey, its a good idea to send only PIR if changed!
                                        The unused code in the sketch is because i have reduced the used functions to the minimum to debug it better. The full sketch has LDR and battery lifetime output too.

                                        i have added some extra output in the modified sketch:

                                          i think millis didnt work with sleep. the counter is not increasing when sleeping..
