Temperature & Humidity Sensor
The DHT11 Sensor measures both temperature and humidity. It is one of the most popular sensors used in robotics and IoT projects for monitoring environmental conditions.
How It Works?
The DHT11 sensor has a thermistor to measure temperature and a humidity sensor for moisture levels in the air. It sends digital data to the microcontroller, which can then be displayed or used to trigger actions like fans or dehumidifiers.
Common Modules
- DHT11 – basic and low-cost sensor
- DHT22 – more accurate and faster version
- AM2302 – same as DHT22 in different casing
