💬 Air Humidity Sensor - DHT

[meanmrgreen]

Finaly got it to compile.
I tried the library link above but no go, cleared out everything about ardouino on the pc, no go.

I finaly stubled onto this:
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples
Downloaded all the expample libraries, loaded the scetch and it worked!

Something is up with the linked library on this page i think

@meanmrgreen the link pointed to a folder on GitHub. If that folder is downloaded, you get the MySensorsExamples. But in that folder, there is also a link to the original DHT library. If that link is followed, the wrong library will be downloaded.

Several people have been bitten by this so I have now changed the link to point directly to the MySensorsExamples zip file.

Could someone explain me why "Must be >1000ms for DHT22 and >2000ms for DHT11" when sampling rate is once per sec for DHT11 (once per 1000ms) and twice per sec for DHT22 (once per 500ms)?

In Wiring Things Up and screen are used DATA_PIN 3, but in example is wrote #define DHT_DATA_PIN 2 :-) ...please correct it.

@Amput,

Thanks, updated.

[skywatch]

@hek

No it is not fixed!

[ramoncarranza]

@hek how do I change fro C to F?

[mfalkvidd]

@hek I think @skywatch meant that the text is updated, but not the picture. The picture is still using pin 3.

[mfalkvidd]

@ramoncarranza set your controller to use non-metric.

[hek]

Yes, didn't see that one @mfalkvidd. Hmm.. Not sure I have the source photoshop psd available any more.

[mfalkvidd]

@hek you mean you delete files? :fearful:

[hek]

Ha, probably not, just a matter of find it. :sweat:

[skywatch]

What @Skywatch meant was that "#define DHT_DATA_PIN 2" is STILL in the example code on this page. Anyone who even gets as far as working it all out and wiring it all up and it still it won't work like that! - Not when it needs to be connected to PIN 3 instead (esp if the NRF is using pin 2, which is likely).
Happy New Year to you all! :)

Just a note, tried following this for adding a DHT11 to the ESP8266 MQTT gateway. The MySensors example lib does not work with esp8266 (temperatures around 17000+). However the adafruit DHT library 1.3.0 works just fine.Any reason that couldn't be used here?

[hek]

Nope. Most of the examples were only verified using Atmega. If you find a better lib working on both platforms, please create a pull request including the updated example and library.

[Efflon]

Ok! I just have to verify it on Atmega first. I'll be back..

DHT sketch version 2.1.0 no data i IDE seiel

And if i use DHT example sketch then I get data temp / hum

@hek @mfalkvidd I read that you discussed about PIN 2 and 3.

Code say PIN 2, Wiring things up say PIN 2 and picture shows PIN 3.

It can't use PIN 2 or can it, PIN 2 is used by the radio, or am I to tired :)?

[meanmrgreen]

@flopp

thats the irq pin in the radio post.
Not used by the radio

I must have missed something or forgot. Is PIN 2 only used on Gateways?
Is it different between MyS version 1.x and 2.x?
