The dht sensor platform allows you to get the current temperature and humidity from a DHT11, DHT22, or AM2302 device.
To use your DHTxx sensor in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: dht
sensor: DHT22
pin: 23
monitored_conditions:
- temperature
- humidity
Configuration variables:
- sensor (Required): The sensor type, supported devices are DHT11, DHT22, and AM2302
- pin (Required): The pin the sensor is connected to.
- monitored_conditions array: Conditions to monitor.
- temperature:
- humidity:
Available conditions are only temperature and humidity.
The name of the pin to which the sensor is connected has different names on different platforms. 'P8_11' for Beaglebone, '23' for Raspberry Pi.
As this requires access to the GPIO, you will need to run Home Assistant as root.
