An Arduino library for reading DHT series low-cost temperature and humidity sensors (DHT11, DHT22, AM2302). It provides a simple C++ API on top of the Adafruit Unified Sensor driver.
Use cases
- read temperature and humidity from a DHT11 sensor on Arduino
- log indoor climate data with a DHT22 and an ESP32
- build a weather station with Arduino and AM2302 sensors
- get humidity readings from a single-wire digital sensor in a sketch
- interface DHT sensors with Adafruit Unified Sensor API
When to choose
- you use Arduino or compatible microcontrollers with DHT-series sensors
- you want a well-maintained, widely used library with examples and tutorials
- you need compatibility with the Adafruit Unified Sensor driver
When to avoid
- you need high-accuracy or fast-sampling environmental sensing (DHT sensors are slow and basic)
- you use sensors from other families like SHT3x or BME280
- you are not on an Arduino-compatible platform
