    It makes sense ;-) Try this:

    create (outside the loop) a variable to count the time:

    long mytime = 0; 
    

    .. and replace the delay by :

     if ( milis() > mytime )  { 
    
       <  Put the dht stuff here > 
    
      mytime = millis() + dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod() ; 
    
    }

    the pir sends 0 and didnt sleep right :(

      What is this number? Did you print the milis()?

      send: 10-10-0-0 s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,st=fail:0

          Are you connecting both DHT and PIR at same pin 2 ? That must be the cause (DHT is triggering the interruption, I think you want only the PIR to trigger it).

          Edit: looks like your PIR is at pin 3 , and DHT on pin 2 --- Should be the inverse? The PIR should be on pin 2 (to trigger the interrupt).

            @rvendrame Pir sensor is defined as 3

            interrupt pin is defined as INT1: 3 - 2 = 1

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

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

                @rvendrame The DHT is on pin 2 and the pir on pin 3. i use the MYS PCB.

                i suspect the delay function disturb the sleep function. if i dont use the delay, the dht cant "heat up".

                far as I know the interrupt is only an internal value. right?

                  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?

                          @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

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

                            It worth a try ...

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

                              i have posted it before this post:

                              "What is this number? Did you print the milis()?

                              send: 10-10-0-0 s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,st=fail:0

                              in the posted sketch the delay is inside millis

                                I didn't find the if ( millis() > my time) in the last sketch you posted ...

                                    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?

                                      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.
