GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing our product. In the following, we will show you which things should be observed during the use.
Should you encounter any unexpected problems, do not hesitate to contact us.

CONNECTION INFORMATION

The DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor is versatile and especially flexible with its input voltage. So, it is not dependent to a voltage of exact 3.3 V but can be used with a voltage range from 3.3 to 6 V. For that reason, the sensor can be applied in many different systems. The output signal is issued digital via the 1-Wire-Protocol.

USAGE WITH ARDUINO

For the usage with an Arduino, you have to install the necessary libraries beforehand.
Therefore, open your Arduino IDE and choose Manage libraries in Sketch -> Implement libraries -> Manage libraries.
The Arduino library manager will now open. Here, you can enter the term DHT into the search bar. Install the DHT sensor library here.

Enter the next term Adafruit Unified Sensor and install the library Adafruit Unified Sensor by Adafruit.

After you have connected the sensor to your Arduino and have installed the libraries, you can test the functions of this sensor.
The installed DHT library includes already code examples which you can use for the first function test.
These can be performed in your Arduino IDE via File -> Example ->DHT sensor library -> DHTtester.
Transfer the code examples onto your Arduino and observe the output of the sensor on the serial display.

USE WITH A RASPBERRY PI

This guide was written under Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm for the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. It has not been checked with newer operating systems or hardware.

First you have to install pip, enter the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
The next step is to set up the virtual environment.

To do this, enter the following commands:
mkdir dein_projekt && cd dein_projekt
python -m venv –system-site-packages env
source env/bin/activate
Now you have to install the Adafruit_CircuitPython_DHT library from Adafruit which was published under the MIT license.

To do this, enter the following command:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-dht

After the installation, you can create a new Python file by entering the following command:
nano dht22.py
Now insert the following code.
import time
import board
import adafruit_dht

Initialize the DHT with the data pin connected to pin 16 # (GPIO 23) of the

Raspberry Pi:
dhtDevice = adafruit_dht.DHT22(board.D23)
while True:
try:

Output of values via the serial interface

temperature_c = dhtDevice.temperature
temperature_f = temperature_c * (9 / 5) + 32
humidity = dhtDevice.humidity
print(“Temp: {:.1f} F / {:.1f} C Luftfeuchtigkeit: {}%”.
format(temperature_f, temperature_c, humidity))
except RuntimeError as error:

Mistakes happen quite often, DHT’s are hard to # read, just keep going

print(error.args[0])
time.sleep(2.0)
continue
except Exception as error:
dhtDevice.exit()
raise error
time.sleep(2. )
Save the file with CTRL + O and Enter and close it again with CTRL+X.
Now you can execute the file with the following command: python3 dht22.py
