SHT2x
Arduino library for the SHT2x and HTU2x temperature and humidity sensors.
Description
The SHT2x family of sensors should work up to 400 KHz I2C.
This library should work for SHT20, SHT21 and SHT25 but these are not tested yet.
| Sensor | Temperature accuracy | Humidity accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| SHT20 | ~0.3 | ±3.0 |
| SHT21 | ~0.3 | ±3.0 |
| SHT25 | ~0.3 | ±1.8 |
All sensors in this family of sensors have address 0x40 (64 decimal).
Interface
Constructors
All classes below are derived from SHT2x class.
- SHT2x() constructor base class.
- SHT20() constructor.
- SHT21() constructor.
- SHT25() constructor.
- HTU20() constructor.
- HTU21() constructor.
Base interface
- bool begin(dataPin, clockPin) begin function for ESP8266 & ESP32; returns false if device address is incorrect or device cannot be reset.
- bool begin(TwoWire *wire = &Wire) optional set the wire interface for platforms with multiple I2C buses. begin() calls reset() which can take up to 15 ms.
- bool read() Reads both the temperature and humidity.
Initial release has a blocking delay. - bool isConnected() check if sensor is reachable over I2C. Returns false if not connected.
- uint16_t getStatus() returns a 2 bit status. TODO meaning
- uint32_t lastRead() in milliSeconds since start of program.
- bool reset() resets the sensor, soft reset, no hard reset supported.
- float getHumidity() computes the relative humidity in % based off the latest raw reading, and returns it.
- float getTemperature() computes the temperature in °C based off the latest raw reading, and returns it.
- uint16_t getRawHumidity() returns the raw two-byte representation of humidity directly from the sensor.
- uint16_t getRawTemperature() returns the raw two-byte representation of temperature directly from the sensor.
Note that the temperature and humidity values are recalculated on every call to getHumidity() and getTemperature(). If you're worried about the extra cycles, you should make sure to cache these values or only request them after you've performed a new read().
Error interface
- int getError() returns last set error flag and clear it. Be sure to clear the error flag by calling getError() before calling any command as the error flag could be from a previous command.
| Value | Symbolic | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | SHT2x_OK | no error | |
| 0x81 | SHT2x_ERR_WRITECMD | I2C write failed | |
| 0x82 | SHT2x_ERR_READBYTES | I2C read failed | |
| 0x83 | SHT2x_ERR_HEATER_OFF | Could not switch off heater | |
| 0x84 | SHT2x_ERR_NOT_CONNECT | Could not connect | |
| 0x85 | SHT2x_ERR_CRC_TEMP | CRC error in temperature | |
| 0x86 | SHT2x_ERR_CRC_HUM | CRC error in humidity | |
| 0x87 | SHT2x_ERR_CRC_STATUS | CRC error in status field | not used |
| 0x88 | SHT2x_ERR_HEATER_COOLDOWN | Heater need to cool down | |
| 0x88 | SHT2x_ERR_HEATER_ON | Could not switch on heater |
Note: the HTU20 / HTU21 classes share the same error codes.
Heater interface
WARNING: Do not use heater for long periods.
Datasheet SHT2x does not mention max time so the maximum time of the SHT3x series is assumed here.
Use the heater for max 180 seconds, and let it cool down 180 seconds = 3 minutes. THe library guards the cool down time by preventing switching the heater on within 180 seconds of the last switch off. Note: this guarding is not reboot persistent.
WARNING: The user is responsible to switch the heater off manually!
The class does NOT do this automatically.
Switch off the heater by directly calling heatOff() or indirectly by calling isHeaterOn().
- void setHeatTimeout(uint8_t seconds) Set the time out of the heat cycle. This value is truncated to max 180 seconds.
- uint8_t getHeatTimeout() returns the value set.
- bool heatOn() switches heat cycle on if not already on. Returns false if fails, setting error to SHT2x_ERR_HEATER_COOLDOWN or to SHT2x_ERR_HEATER_ON.
- bool heatOff() switches heat cycle off. Returns false if fails, setting error to SHT2x_ERR_HEATER_OFF.
- bool isHeaterOn() is the sensor still in heating cycle?
Status fields
From HTU20 datasheet
| bits | value | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 00 | 0 | open circuit |
| 01 | 1 | temperature reading |
| 10 | 2 | humidity reading |
| 11 | 3 | closed circuit |
Future
- test test test test
- getSerialNumber()
- improve error handling (all code paths)
- investigate blocking delay() in read - optimize... Q: need async interface?
