Arduino Project: Temperature and Humidity monitor Tutorial with DHT11 (or DHT22) sensor LCD shield.

[@TriHakniPutra]

you right man, after i searching and reading a blogs, measuring humidity was quiet hard. and try comparing with dht22 or another sensors, the different was so far!

[@decem_unosquattro9538]

Ah very good explanation! I've done this project years ago still I like to build it again with DHT22.

[@yo3kxl]

Hello, thank you for sharing your code! I built your project on an Arduino Uno rev3 (Chinese clone with CH340T USB interface) and works as a charm. * Note1) For all of those asking about problems in compiling or libraries, I have one single advice: *** please download the DHT11 library from the Adafruit GitHub (press "See more* at the start of the description and follow the URL given by the author) *** ----------------------------------------- Note2) The code is made for Arduino Mega. To work on Arduino Uno (rev3), you have to change the number of the pin where Arduino is reading the data from the DHT sensor. Simply compare the pinmappings of Arduino Mega with those of Arduino Uno. You will see that pin22 of ArduinoMega board is connected to PA0(AD0) of the microcontroller. Now look in the schematic diagram of the Arduino Uno rev3 board and identify the corresponding AD0 of the Atmega328 processor; it's at the pin 23. On the pinmapping, you will find it at A0 (that is numbered as "14"). So, you will have to change the original code as here: #define DHTPIN 14 // what pin we're connected to If you use the LCD Keypad Shield from DFRobots, you may solder a female connector there, with the corresponding pin soldered directly to A0 on the LCD board (there is no hole for A0). Then, you may use some bulk female-to-male wires and another piece of female connector to plug the sensor. This is the single modification that I've made, to make the original code to work on Arduino Uno. And as I said before, it works as a charm ! Good luck and thanks again to Educ8s.com !

[@tbmtech5651]

This is great!!! I made it work with an 20X4 LCD screen with an I2C 2 pin connection and an Arduino UNO. the only thing I had to modify was to add this lcd.setBacklight(HIGH); right at the begining of the void loop command. Thank you!

[@Educ8s]

TBM tech You are welcome!

[@alexgoogle2777]

works, only sometimes says that you can not read the data from the sensor "Failed to read from DHT sensor!". The resistor is set to 4.7 - did not help. Used DHT-22

[@B3enthusiast2008]

Hey at last, Found something that works, just like it says on the tin, Great Tutorial, Thank you.

[@Educ8s]

Arduino Noob You are welcome!

[@AAI30]

OMG thanks man. You really helped me in my arduino projects.

[@fpt380]

Hello . Thank you for your nice explanation. I have a question: Are the sensors like LM35 and DH11-22 accurate and reliable? Are it need to calibrate? thank you

[@asharma8788]

hey bro! ur videos r awesome..... can u pls tell how to use a separate humidity,temperature and pressure sensor??

[@TraceWaters]

I got this working, but have a bad sensor. Will this code work for the dht22 as well? I figured if I was getting another I might as well get the one with better range.

[@juanbriones1760]

WORKS EXCELLENT ..THANKS BUT IF I WANT IN FARENHEIT..

[@vedgarge5604]

Hi. Thanks for the code. However, NAN is getting displayed on lcd. Pl can you tell the solution to solve this problem.?

[@mattdathew2794]

cool, he measures power too

[@osipov180]

Hello, thank You very match! Can I use Arduino Uno for this shield?

[@olafsmallspruce3730]

I have a Arduino Uno and don't know which pins to connect on the lcd module. A connection diagram wolud be nice at least in the other tutorials.

[@mariotoplek4511]

hello! can this be used for controll temperature and humidity using a relay board? how to set up code that you can adjust parameters via buttons on LCD board? i planing to build one for my greenhouse. thanks in advance. regards, Mario

[@sreekumarannair.k7007]

My name is reghu I like your video too

[@zeczec8733]

hi, does the lcd is enough to display rain, and dht data? and how is the code? im new to arduino. hope u can guide me. tq.

[@dztronic1616]

Thank you very much Man for your sharing..it helped me a lot. that was a good job.

[@ashutoshjoshi2841]

Good information. I am wondering how we can add 2 library (One for Display and another one for Temp Sensor) in Arduino UNO IDE? Thank you..

[@gulhermepereira249]

Probably you have the LCD library already (after installing the IDE, which is my case) and you just have to #include it. Just check ...Arduino/Libraries/LiquidCrystal. If you have it you're good to go, otherwise download it and create a folder called LiquidCrystal in that location (...Arduino/Libraries) and paste it there.

[@ashutoshjoshi2841]

Hi Gulherme, Thank you for the answer. Here are the details about my project. I am using Arduino Uno with Nokia 5110 LCD Display and DS18B20 Thermal Sensor Probe. If i connect them separately then it works file. I would like to pull the temp reading on Nokia LCD 5110 Display which is not possible because i can not add (merge) both the library (5110 Display & One wire temperature sensor ) in Arduino IDE. Any suggestion. Thank you.

[@jasminrecupero8533]

is LCD TFT Display applicable for the arduino ? do they differ in coding?

[@smug_cat1]

please make a new one with the new lib and a dht22

[@hannafebriandini93]

if I use a sensor dht22, and arduino uno . whether the same way ? thanks for your videos its really helpful :)

[@Educ8s]

Hanna Febriandini Yes it is the same way. You only have to change the code a little.

[@gunturnoorfadhly924]

I have a project using dht22 sensor and transmit uses NRF24L01 transmitter module. Do you have reference about NRF24L01 for 2 way communication?

[@Educ8s]

+guntur noor fadhly I am going to make a video about that soon,.

[@ayeshaa96]

can you help me about a temperature controller using atmega16 and DHT11 through keypad and lcd?

[@JugglingDan23]

I got the code to compile without any issues, but I am getting the readings as T: NAN C H: NAN. I know that NAN stands for Not a Number, but I don't know how to resolve the issue. Could this be indicative of a bad sensor? What else could cause this?

[@Educ8s]

Check your connections again, or try a new sensor.

[@mehditarabi4709]

hi i have a question . i need to implement Temperature and humidity monitor, on atmega2560 with C language. do you think this source code will help me?

[@udith-pz4tv]

Outdoor DHT sensor doesnot read minus values at winter. Please ,how can we fix the temperature from -50 to +50

[@RandomTorok]

I am trying to get this working on an Esp32 wroom. The ESP has built in wifi and Bluetooth so I can send the data gathered to another computer.

[@roystervi]

Question....The dhtt22 working great so somewhat...they are about 10 to 20ft away and I tested voltage. the voltage on the far one is 4.9v. one problem I am having is that sometimes the the temp drop from 70 degrees to 51.1 degrees. is there a way to correct this problem?

[@agentsmith3577]

Is the sensor on it's own board like in the vid?

[@gauravbhatt6258]

@edu8s.tv i tried this code on r3 esp8266. I am getting error : DHT does not name a type. Can you help?

[@lezbriddon]

i think when i playeed with these last year reading the data raw iand not using libraries that the sensor works in 1/3 of a degree C so returned like 10.0, 10.3, 10.6, 11.0 etc

[@lezbriddon]

I usually avoid the libraries for being slow

[@karlosknjura]

Hello, I have the code up and running but how can I change Celsius to Fahrenheit? It would be good help, thanks.

[@harsheelsingh4866]

Carlos M Canjura Mayes you can use a math formula to change the final ouput variable

[@aniketghule27]

is it necessary to calibrate the sensor or it is auto calibrated??

[@Educ8s]

I think they calibrate them at the factory

[@prateek6502-y4p]

thnx. i m getting output. but temperature is not varying very hardly!!!

[@edgarddiaz9193]

Good video

[@dalewhitmore143]

Hello. I copyed your code exactly and i get a list of errors. Im using uno with input from sensor on D3 with srew shield.

[@mimilives]

Is this compatible with a raspberry pi 3?

[@omarcortes6589]

excelente vídeo saludos

[@mustafakenany1310]

nice projects but you when convert float to string why we use number 0 and 2 and 5 and 1 in forumal

[@Educ8s]

mustafa kenany I explain: dtostrf(temperature, 5, 1, tempF); the 5 is the max digits. Temperature can be -10.1 for example which has 5 digits. The 1 is how many digits after the dot we want. We want only one digit for precision. For humidity, it is simpler. We can't have negative values, we can have values for 00 to 99, so we only need 2 digits and we don't care about float numbers, so we put 0 for the digits after the dot. We only need to print integers.

[@nabeelshah4906]

can we use arduino uno r3 for this and can it connect with dht11

[@julianblow4739]

Yes and yes, Just make sure to wire your module according to how the schematic tells you to. Make sure ground IS ground and 5v/VCC is actually 5v/VCC

[@TKomoski]

Just watched was cool, just got one trying to see what it can do. Will subscribe to your chanel.

[@Educ8s]

It is easy. Try it, and please come back if you need any help, or want to share your success!

[@travelvlog7910]

please Tell me one thing that is this project compatable for arduino Uno??? i have a ardunio Uno , in this microcontroller pins are less compared to the Arduino mega ,so i am getting confused as how to use this Arduino Uno...

[@Educ8s]

udayan pandey Yes it is compatible with Arduino Uno.

[@batticha462]

DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE); ----> 'DHT' does not name a type ?

[@akroutsamo]

+educ8s.tv this is a helpful tutorial but could you add a fan and a relay to activate heating element and use the Lcd along with the buttons to set and control the temperature it will be active station or maybe with TFT touch screen ;) thanks (y)

[@Educ8s]

+Akrout Osama Hello, using a relay is not difficult. Also I am planning on using project with a touch screen soon!

[@akroutsamo]

+educ8s.tv Hi; yes but setting the temp value and store it in the Eeprom this i found it difficult . using a touch screen with GUI it id gonna be awesome ... i can't wait (y) ;) thanks

[@mohamedakkafaraj728]

i have this solution but with microcontroller PIC 16F887

[@MoeGreensRightEye]

How many degrees are there?

[@asherpa4u]

There are as many degrees up as you have nickles for. On the way down though, they get rarer and rarer until they transform entirely into turtles. From there, it's turtles all the way down.

[@JerryEricsson]

Thanks a million, I have been trying to get mine working for awhile now with some but limited results. Been playing with a DHT11 but got my DHT22 in the mail today, that combined with your stuff and a bit of my Americanization of it, I now have mine working giving me the Temp in F instead of the dreaded C that we in American look upon with fear and loathing. Here is my sketch, well your sketch but with a bit of modification: #include // DHT code from: // Example testing sketch for various DHT humidity/temperature sensors // Written by ladyada, public domain #include "DHT.h" #define DHTPIN 13 // what pin we're connected to // Uncomment whatever type you're using! // #define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11 #define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302) //#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301) DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE); // LCD // LCD RS=3, EN=4, DS4=5, DS5=6, DS6=7, DS7=8 #include LiquidCrystal lcd( 8,9,4,5,6,7); void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows: lcd.begin(16,2); dht.begin(); } void loop() { // Reading temperature or humidity takes about 250 milliseconds! // Sensor readings may also be up to 2 seconds 'old' (its a very slow sensor) int h = dht.readHumidity(); int t = dht.readTemperature(); // set the cursor to (0,0): lcd.setCursor(0, 0); // print from 0 to 9: lcd.print("Temp: "); lcd.print(t*9/5+32); lcd.print("F"); // set the cursor to (16,1): lcd.setCursor(0,1); lcd.print("Humidity: "); lcd.print(h); lcd.print("%"); delay(200); }

[@smug_cat1]

omg i cant thank u enough i was sitting the whole night in front of my pc and had the dht.h all most wanted to burn it down xD ps. welcome from germany

[@JerryEricsson]

Glad it helped you out, my Grandfather came here from Germany back in the 1910's and began farming in North Dakota.

[@errorserver3000]

[@jfeely]

i am using a arduino uno with lcd screen and the same sensor as in video but i donot have same inputs for sensor on arduino can anyone help?

[@adrianoragazzo1321]

On the video description it state : "In this video we are building a Temperature and humidity monitor, using an Arduino Mega." Arduino Mega = more pins . Peoples should get used to read imho.

[@jakelumpy86]

i keep having problems with this. it keeps telling me that dht was not declared in this scope. I even downloaded the library.

[@Educ8s]

It seems from what you say, that the library is not set up correctly. Try to close Arduino IDE and reload it. If it is still not working, have you unzipped the library in the correct folder?

[@jakelumpy86]

i know what i did. i added the library after i wrote the code so it didnt properly put the library in the code

[@Educ8s]

Jake Lampada So now it works?

[@jakelumpy86]

yes. it works great. I even added to the code to convert the celsius to fahrenheit.

[@TraceWaters]

Jake Lampada Where can you find that code?

[@RickBergs]

Need to send out a warning about the DHT11 relative humidity-sensor. Its measurement values are very inaccurate. When humidity goes down below ~45% it fails badly. Check this graph that I posted on my Twitter account: twitter.com/Diodens/status/640440428173639680 Note that you need a +13 offset for the DHT11 to even measure somewhat correct at any humidity.

[@Educ8s]

+Diodens Thank you, very helpful!

[@RickBergs]

+Educ8s.com Hi! You should check my tests of the DHT11 vs DHT22 here: plus.google.com/+RickardBergstr%C3%B6m/posts/VxCPt5cv3b4 Seems to be way much better than the DHT11.
