The `dht` sensor platform allows you to get the current temperature and humidity from a DHT11, DHT22 or AM2302 device.
## Configuration
To use your DHTxx sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: dht
sensor: DHT22
pin: 23
monitored_conditions:
- temperature
- humidity
```
{% configuration %}
sensor:
description: The sensor type, supported devices are DHT11, DHT22, and AM2302.
required: true
type: string
pin:
description: The pin the sensor is connected to.
required: true
type: integer
name:
description: The name of the sensor.
required: false
default: DHT Sensor
type: string
monitored_conditions:
description: Conditions to monitor. Available conditions are only *temperature* and *humidity*.
required: true
type: list
keys:
temperature:
description: Temperature at the sensor's location.
humidity:
description: Humidity level at the sensor's location.
temperature_offset:
description: Add or subtract a value from the temperature.
required: false
default: 0
type: [integer, float]
humidity_offset:
description: Add or subtract a value from the humidity.
required: false
default: 0
type: [integer, float]
{% endconfiguration %}
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.
### Example
An example for a Raspberry Pi 3 with a DHT22 sensor connected to GPIO4 (pin 7):
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: dht
sensor: DHT22
pin: 4
temperature_offset: 2.1
humidity_offset: -3.2
monitored_conditions:
- temperature
- humidity
```
