      Most if not all of the DHT Sensor Modules use WiringPi to read the gpio pins on the pi. Problem is WiringPi has been depricated (with prejudice). http://wiringpi.com/news/

      Can someone tell me where to find a DHT22 sensor module that doesn’t use WiringPi?

      Thank you,

        @willbuden Hi, my MMM-Temperature module support different sensor types. The values get read by calling external python scripts. An example script to read values of DHT11 sensors is included.

          @willbuden I customized a version of MMM-DHT-Sensor (sped up reads when no data, and a bug fix) for my own use, it works acceptable…

          I might be switching tho, I’m not happy with DHTs in general.

          The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

            @bkeyport My favorites are BME280 and Htu21 because they are fast and reliable. If a waterproof sensor is needed i only know the DS18B20. My module provides scripts to read the values of all of them.
