DHT 22 Temperature and Humidity Sensor

The DHT22 module is a temperature and humidity sensor widely used in environmental monitoring projects. Here?s an overview in three short points:

### Key Features:

– **High Accuracy**: Measures temperature from -40 to 80?C (?0.5?C accuracy) and humidity from 0 to 100% RH (?2-5% RH accuracy).

– **Digital Output**: Provides a digital signal via a single data pin, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

– **Low Power**: Consumes low power, suitable for battery-powered and remote applications.

### Applications:

– **Weather Stations**: Used in DIY and commercial weather monitoring systems.

– **HVAC Systems**: Monitors indoor air quality and controls heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

– **Greenhouses**: Maintains optimal environmental conditions for plant growth.

### Example Use:

1. **Connection**: Connect the VCC, GND, and data pins to the respective pins on a microcontroller.

2. **Programming**: Use available libraries (e.g., DHT library for Arduino) to read temperature and humidity data.

3. **Monitoring**: Display or log the sensor data for real-time monitoring or analysis.
