The DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Module is a basic, low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It provides calibrated digital output via a single-wire interface, making it ideal for beginners and simple weather stations.
Key features
- Measures temperature and humidity in one module
- Digital output via single-wire interface
- Factory calibrated for stable readings
- Low power consumption suitable for battery projects
- Compact module with onboard components
- 3-5V operation compatible with Arduino and ESP
- No additional components needed
Good to know
- Requires 1-second minimum between readings
- Lower accuracy than DHT22 – consider upgrading if precision needed
- Use DHT library (Adafruit or simpleDHT) for Arduino
- Pull-up resistor (4.7K-10K) may be needed on data pin
- Not suitable for freezing or very high-temperature environments
