Story

This is very simple and small post but always simple and small things make smart and enterprise products. Any way it's my dream that i write a program from that i can check my room temperature and humidity instead of watching from small devices.

I am using DHT22 Temperature and Humidity sensor with Arduino UNO R3 and getting it's data from Arduino Serial Monitor. Before i go to next step i think i need to tell you some thing about DHT22. It's Humidity Range is 0-100% and Temperature range is -40 - 125°C that's why I prefer DHT22 as compared to DHT11.

Update: Hello Geeks, I have written a new article regarding DHT22, MKR Wi-Fi 1010, and the Arduino IoT Cloud, click here to learn more.

For Complete steps, setup & output please watch the video.

Hardware Required:

1x Arduino/Genuino UNO View at Amazon

1x DHT22 Sensor View at Amazon

1x Bread Board View at Amazon

3x Jumper Wires View at Amazon

Let's Begin buddies.

First Pin is a VCC connect it to 5V.

Second Pin is Data Pin Connect it to Digital Pin 7.

Third Pin is called NC but i don't know why it's their i did not used it.

And Finally Fourth Pin is Ground Pin my favorite Pin.

Now upload the code to arduino and wait for ...... output :)

Video For Complete Steps & Output:

Please find the Code in Attachment.

Arduino DHT22 Code

/* How to use the DHT-22 sensor with Arduino uno
   Temperature and humidity sensor
*/

//Libraries
#include <DHT.h>;

//Constants
#define DHTPIN 7     // what pin we're connected to
#define DHTTYPE DHT22   // DHT 22  (AM2302)
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE); //// Initialize DHT sensor for normal 16mhz Arduino


//Variables
int chk;
float hum;  //Stores humidity value
float temp; //Stores temperature value

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  dht.begin();
}

void loop()
{
    delay(2000);
    //Read data and store it to variables hum and temp
    hum = dht.readHumidity();
    temp= dht.readTemperature();
    //Print temp and humidity values to serial monitor
    Serial.print("Humidity: ");
    Serial.print(hum);
    Serial.print(" %, Temp: ");
    Serial.print(temp);
    Serial.println(" Celsius");
    delay(10000); //Delay 2 sec.
}
