DHT Humidity Sensing on Raspberry Pi

This project is a uses the AdaFruit libraries for sensing temperature using DHT11 sensor and a Raspberry Pi.

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.

Install prerequisites:

sudo apt update &&\
sudo apt upgrade -y &&\
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip -y

Setup a virtual environment & install the library:

mkdir /home/$(whoami)/temp-sensor
cd /home/$(whoami)/temp-sensor
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
pip install dht11 setuptools RPi.GPIO

Run the code alt-temp.py
