DHT22 problem

[barnosch]

hmm. looks not so bad.
It can take some time to read the sensor (~3-5 sec). But i guess you waited longer after the command?

My DHT22 looks slightly different, an i had to solder a resistor between two pins.
Maybe yours is ready made.

Are you sure that 3.3V are enough? You could try to put your + line to pin 2 or 4 (right next to the ground)
Should look like this;)

Barnosh thanks for coming back!!.. i have run this sensor from 3v and 5 v with no changes, yes i been waiting round 3min or even longer, managed to brew capa and sensor was still reading when i get back. It does work on Python code , the sensor is soldered to pcb and it has got 2k7 resistor across and CAP, i will take it to work tomorrow and i will solder resistor and see whats this change anything … i will let you know, so far i have bougth this to play with

hah, that would have been my next suggestion… take the xiaomi stuff.
You can jsut throw it everywhere in your house, and you don’t need a wired connection.

Here in the bottom.
As you can see the humidity from the sensor is not showing correctly. Need to buy another one or … even better take another Xiaomi sensor ;)

Don’t forget, that you need the Xiaomi Gateway in order to get the stuff to work

hey barnosch !!! too late i got the sensors with out getaway , LOL typical me…

anyway… i have soldered 10k resistor across 1st and second leg of the sensor … still do not working , so surly it has to be faulty sensor … i really do not know , i have spent too much time on this anyway… thank you for your support, you are star!! mate ,i will let you know how the xiaomi goes once i got the gateway lol ;-)
