MMM-DHT-Sensor stopped working

@ankonaskiff17 i had a spare machine, installed linux 10 years ago… have a 5tb external drive with the pics and and a lot of other stuff…
share via samba (windows file sharing)

and mount that on the pi (line in /etc/fstab)
ends up in /media/{username}/…configed_name

then u can link (ln) to map in to a folder some other place with a new name…

@ankonaskiff17 Yes sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Other modules work again just the DHT wont work :(

Dracarys

Fixed it. Updating the magic mirror itself did the trick.

@Dracarys As in updating to 2.24.0?
Those are the best kind.

@Dracarys I want to dig in to sensor projects myself. I looked at that DHT sensor and I think it is using SPI so maybe other sensors using same interface might be amenable to using module as a building block.

@Dracarys mine is still broken, updated MM to version 2.24.0 and still not working. Any solution?

@Jonae How many wires on sensor? 3 or 4? There are some DHT sensors with 4, some with 3.
If it is 4, and/or you know it is I2C ,try running ```sudo i2cdetect -y 1’‘’ .
Should spit you out an address 38.

If not I have a 3 wire sensor I can hook up and run through setup. My 3 wire sensor and DHT supposed to be about twins.

@ankonaskiff17
I have a 4 wire sensor, eunning sudo i2cdetect -y 1 i am getting an error thet could not open file. Anny sugestions?
