## Alternative method
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
|
|
|
> This alternative method uses the `DHT11` python library for reading the sensor data.
|
|
|
|
|
> This is a pure Python library for reading DHT11 sensor on Raspberry Pi.

1. Install prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt update &&\
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt upgrade -y &&\
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip -y
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Setup a virtual environment & install the library:
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir /home/$(whoami)/temp-sensor
|
|
|
|
|
cd /home/$(whoami)/temp-sensor
|
|
|
|
|
python3 -m venv .
|
|
|
|
|
source bin/activate
|
|
|
|
|
pip install dht11 setuptools RPi.GPIO
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Run the code [alt-temp.py](https://git.kska.io/notkshitij/DHT11/src/branch/main/alt-temp.py)
