MMM-DHT22

Jimmy1502

Hello, im quite new to the MagicMirror and I only have basic Programming Knowledge. I tried using ur Module and i strictly followed ur guide, but it doesnt work. The module itself is loading even th icons, but there are no numbers visible. I tried to check the library but it doesnt work.
Is it a Problem on my side or a Problem with the adafruit library?

Thx for your help.

I have installed the module but get the following when I try to run your test ‘python3 AdafruitDHT.py 22 26’

I know the DHT-22 works on GPIO pin 26
~/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples $ sudo python3 AdafruitDHT.py 22 26
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples/AdafruitDHT.py”, line 41, in

RuntimeError: Unknown platform.

Any thoughts?

@lif It’s requiring tools no longer available, so dead module. Use something else.

https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Temperature is what I used when I had a module hooked up to it.

Thanks, I’ve given it a try but get an error in the last stage of the installation

@lif I’m not sure on that, @wishmaster270 (Tom) would know more.

Thanks, not the end of the world if I can’t use it.

@lif Hi. Great you want to try one of my modules.

Can you try installing a additional python system package with

sudo apt install python3-rpi-lgpio

I tried the scripts on my newly installed system with Bookworm and everything worked as expected.
Maybe the missing package had been installed with something else I installed on my system.

Thanks, that was already installed

That’s strange…Can you try to start with a new, fresh virtual python environment and install the needed libs again?

Remove old virtual environment:

rm -rf /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts/py-venv

Install the needed system libs:

sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y install python3-venv libgpiod2

Re-Create the virtual environment:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts
./venvWrapper.py --verbose --venv-name py-venv --create

Re-Install the libs:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts
./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --install-libs adafruit-circuitpython-dht

Run the test again:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts
./venvWrapper.py --venv-name py-venv --run ./dht22

If it fails again. Can you please provide the output of

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Temperature/scripts
source py-venv/bin/activate
pip freeze
deactivate

The output should look something like:

Adafruit-Blinka==8.66.1
Adafruit-Blinka-Raspberry-Pi5-Neopixel==1.0.0rc2
adafruit-circuitpython-busdevice==5.2.13

@wishmaster270 AND you must enable the virtual env in the script if pm2 starts MagicMirror
