AM2320 will this work as a replacement for AM2302 / DHT22



  • I was looking for another humidity sensor and the AM2320 came up as a alternative to DHT22 / AM2302.
    Has anyone tried this unit already? Will this work as a direct replacement in the humidity sketch for a DHT22?

    Thanks in advance! 🙂

    @brchevo I just googled for AM2320 and came accross the AdaFruit site. They say that the AM2302 is just a wired version of the DHT22. So it should work perfect since it is a DHT22.



  • I know, im responding to an old thread,

    AM2320 is not the same as AM2302, I might be wrong, the switcheroo between 20 an 02 is easily made,

    If Im correct;
    AM2320 = 1 = vcc / 2 = SDA / 3 = GND / 4 = SCL

    AM2302 = 1 = vcc / 2 = SDA / 3 = NC / 4 = GND

    Please correct me if im wrong, cuz I dont get the AM2320 properly working.

    I think the AM2320 has got an "One-wire mode", at least if you look at the datasheet. I have not tried it though.

    I also had great difficulties in getting the AM2320 to work with I2C until I realised late last night that I had forgotten to include the pull-up resistors, 4k7 each from SDC and SDA to Vcc. All other I2C sensors I have used have had them included on the breakout board but this sensor does not have them built in the sensor body.
    Now it works like a charm, one measurement of temp and hum every 2 minutes.
    There are a few arduino-libraries for AM2320 floating around. I use this: (https://github.com/thakshak/AM2320)

    Here is my sketch:

    
    
    /**
     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.
