DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor

The DHT11 is an inexpensive sensor for humidity and temperature with a digital single-wire interface. It is factory calibrated but does not have a high resolution. The required resistors are already mounted on the board, so it can be connected directly to the microcontroller.

Recommended alternative with higher resolution and accuracy: DHT22 Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Recommended Accessories:

• Dupont Cable M-F 20cm 20 Pieces

Features:

• Needs only one digital pin
• Its own single-wire protocol, not compatible with Dallas 1-Wire
• Read at most once per second
• Power LED on the board
• Arduino library «DHT sensor library» in the Library Manager

Application Examples:

• Display of indoor climate
• Simple weather stations
• Getting started with sensors
