DHT11 Humidity Sensor on Arduino
​ INTRODUCTION:

DHT11 is a Humidity and Temperature Sensor, which generates calibrated

digital output. DHT11 can be interface with any microcontroller like

Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. and get instantaneous results. DHT11 is a low

cost humidity and temperature sensor which provides high reliability and

long term stability.

In this project, we will build a small circuit to interface Arduino with DHT11

Temperature and Humidity Sensor. One of the main applications of

connecting DTH11 sensor with Arduino is weather monitoring.

We have already seen about humidity, relative humidity, humidity sensors

and their types in this article.

Component Description

DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor

DHT11 is a part of DHTXX series of Humidity sensors. The other sensor in


this series is DHT22. Both these sensors are Relative Humidity (RH)
Sensor. As a result, they will measure both the humidity and temperature.
Although DHT11 Humidity Sensors are cheap and slow, they are very
popular among hobbyists and beginners.

The DHT11 Humidity and Temperature Sensor consists of 3 main


components. A resistive type humidity sensor, an NTC (negative
temperature coefficient) thermistor (to measure the temperature) and an
8-bit microcontroller, which converts the analog signals from both the
sensors and sends out single digital signal.

This digital signal can be read by any microcontroller or microprocessor for


further analysis.
DHT11 Humidity Sensor consists of 4 pins: VCC, Data Out, Not Connected
(NC) and GND. The range of voltage for VCC pin is 3.5V to 5.5V. A 5V
supply would do fine. The data from the Data Out pin is a serial digital
data.

The following image shows a typical application circuit for DHT11 Humidity
and Temperature Sensor. DHT11 Sensor can measure a humidity value in
the range of 20 – 90% of Relative Humidity (RH) and a temperature in the
range of 0 – 500C. The sampling period of the sensor is 1 second i.e.

All the DHT11 Sensors are accurately calibrated in the laboratory and the
results are stored in the memory. A single wire communication can be
established between any microcontroller like Arduino and the DHT11
Sensor.

Also, the length of the cable can be as long as 20 meters. The data from
the sensor consists of integral and decimal parts for both Relative Humidity
(RH) and temperature.
