# DHT Temperature/Humidity sensor usermod

This usermod will read from an attached DHT22 or DHT11 humidity and temperature sensor.
The sensor readings are displayed in the Info section of the web UI (and optionally sent to an MQTT broker).

If sensor is not detected after 10 update intervals, the usermod will be disabled.

If enabled, measured temperature and humidity will be published to the following MQTT topics
* `{devceTopic}/dht/temperature`
* `{devceTopic}/dht/humidity`

## Installation

Copy the example `platformio_override.ini` to the root directory.  This file should be placed in the same directory as `platformio.ini`.

### Define Your Options

* `USERMOD_DHT`                      - define this to include this user mod wled00\usermods_list.cpp
* `USERMOD_DHT_DHTTYPE`              - DHT model: 11, 21, 22 for DHT11, DHT21, or DHT22, defaults to 22/DHT22
* `USERMOD_DHT_PIN`                  - pin to which DTH is connected, defaults to Q2 pin on QuinLed Dig-Uno's board
* `USERMOD_DHT_CELSIUS`              - define this to report temperatures in degrees Celsius, otherwise Fahrenheit will be reported
* `USERMOD_DHT_MEASUREMENT_INTERVAL` - the number of milliseconds between measurements, defaults to 60000 ms
* `USERMOD_DHT_FIRST_MEASUREMENT_AT` - the number of milliseconds after boot to take first measurement, defaults to 90000 ms
* `USERMOD_DHT_MQTT`                 - publish measurements to an MQTT broker
* `USERMOD_DHT_STATS`                - For debug, report delay stats

### PlatformIO requirements

If you are using `platformio_override.ini`, you should be able to refresh the task list and see your custom task, for example `env:d1_mini_usermod_dht_C`. If not, you can add the libraries and dependencies into `platformio.ini` as you see fit.


## Change Log
2022-10-15
* Add ability to publish sensor readings to an MQTT broker
* fix compilation error for sample [env:d1_mini_usermod_dht_C] task
2020-02-04
* Change default QuinLed pin to Q2
* Instead of trying to keep updates at constant cadence, space out readings by measurement interval. Hopefully, this helps eliminate occasional bursts of readings with errors
* Add some more (optional) stats
2020-02-03
* Due to poor readouts on ESP32 with previous DHT library, rewrote to use https://github.com/alwynallan/DHT_nonblocking
* The new library serializes/delays up to 5ms for the sensor readout
2020-02-02
* Created
