DHT22 verify issue.



  • Using the raw code from the Mysensors example I'm getting errors trying to verify the code.

    Haven't changed a single bit of the raw code.

    Getting the following errors

    Any help recommended?

  • I have the DHT sensor library installed under recommended libraries and can run the DHTtester code no problems.
    I have uploaded the sketch to my nodemcu and its working fine and can see the results via serial monitor

    as shown here

    void setup() {
      Serial.begin(9600);

      // Sensor readings may also be up to 2 seconds 'old' (its a very slow sensor)
      float h = dht.readHumidity();
      // Read temperature as Celsius (the default)
      float t = dht.readTemperature();
      // Read temperature as Fahrenheit (isFahrenheit = true)
      float f = dht.readTemperature(true);
    
      // Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again).
      if (isnan(h) || isnan(t) || isnan(f)) {
        Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
        return;
      }
    
      // Compute heat index in Fahrenheit (the default)
      float hif = dht.computeHeatIndex(f, h);
      // Compute heat index in Celsius (isFahreheit = false)
      float hic = dht.computeHeatIndex(t, h, false);
    
      Serial.print("Humidity: ");
      Serial.print(h);
      Serial.print(" %\t");
      Serial.print("Temperature: ");
      Serial.print(t);

      Serial.print(hic);
      Serial.print(" *C ");
      Serial.print(hif);
      Serial.println(" *F");
    }
    

    Ill have a read through your recommended threads to see what else I can troubleshoot.
    I also tried looking at others projects and examples but didn't see much code



  • seems to be fixed after I deleted and reinstalled the DHT library several time.

    Thanks mfalkvidd



  • Ok so I got it all working, somewhat.

    Im running a NodeMCU with wifi to MQTT with the below sketch. (note removed the header of the code to protect private info, I have had the MQTT/ESP part working fine with other sensors/actuators)

      sleep(UPDATE_INTERVAL); 
    }
    

    Basically a copy paste of what on the mysensors page, however this code fails reading the DHT22/am2302 sensor Im using.

    If I use the DHT_Test code supplied with the mysensors master library, everything works fine, same pin, not even re powering the device, flashed it many times, and I'm stuck.

    #include "DHT.h"
    
    DHT dht;
    
    void setup()
    {
      Serial.begin(9600);
      Serial.println();
      Serial.println("Status\tHumidity (%)\tTemperature (C)\t(F)");
    
      dht.setup(2); // data pin 2
    }
    
    void loop()
    {
      delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod());
    
      float humidity = dht.getHumidity();
      float temperature = dht.getTemperature();
    
      Serial.print(dht.getStatusString());
      Serial.print("\t");
      Serial.print(humidity, 1);
      Serial.print("\t\t");
      Serial.print(temperature, 1);
      Serial.print("\t\t");
      Serial.println(dht.toFahrenheit(temperature), 1);
    }

    @Bryden when the reading fails, what is the result? No reading at all? Incorrect temperature?



  • Its serial printing "Failed reading temperature from DHT" and "Failed reading humidity from DHT" as per the void loop in the sketch.

    I can run DHT_Test, and it works fine, serial printing OK 1.0 25.8 47.3 (or what ever the temp and humidity is) then immediately upload the mysensor sketch and get the failed reading returns.

    @Bryden try to replace sleep() with wait(). I cannot get sleep to work well on an esp8266.



  • @AWI said in DHT22 verify issue.:

    @Bryden try to replace sleep() with wait(). I cannot get sleep to work well on an esp8266.

    Well @AWI thats just weird, Its working now, I'm not much of a programmer, But something as little as changing a sleep command to wait fixed the issue is weird as hell.

    Have you got any explanation or should I just blame the angry pixies getting in a huff.

    You have well earned your hero member status.


  • Mod

    @Bryden on ESP8266, the MySensors sleep function always returns immediately. That causes the code to try to read data from the sensor too soon.

    From what I understand, the reason that sleep doesn't sleep on ESP8266 is that the ESP8266 requires a full reboot when it wakes up from sleep, which usually isn't what people want when calling sleep.

    But people don't want immediate return either. I don't know what reasoning was behind designing the MySensors sleep function on ESP8266 but i assume there was a compelling reason to let sleep() return immediately.

    Maybe a more logical choice would be to let sleep() on ESP8266 do what wait() does?



  • I suppose I could remove the sleep / wait function all together seems as it's going to run off mains and not a battery, which is what I would assume people wanted a sleep function for altogether.


  • Hero Member

    @Bryden The wait() function is a MySensors replacement of the standard delay() in c++. The "added value" here is that wait() lets you listen to incoming messages while doing nothing. Unless you want some activity during waiting for a next reading (like blinking a led or so) I think wait() is rather usefull 😉
