# DHT20
|
|
|
|
Arduino library for I2C DHT20 temperature and humidity sensor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The DHT20 is a humidity an temperature sensor.
|
|
|
|
The sensor has a fixed address of **0x38**.
|
|
It is not known if the address can be changed.
|
|
|
|
The library must be initiated by calling the **begin()** function,
|
|
or **begin(dataPin, clockPin)** for **ESP32** and similar platforms.
|
|
|
|
Thereafter one has to call the **read()** function to do the actual reading,
|
|
and call **getTemperature()** and **getHumidity()** to get the measured values.
|
|
Calling these latter again will return the same values until a new **read()** is done.
|
|
|
|
The **read()** call of this sensor is blocking for 80+ milliseconds (datasheet 7.4)
|
|
so the library also has a asynchronous interface. See below.
|
|
|
|
Since 0.1.3 and 0.1.4 the performance of **read()** has been optimized,
|
|
still blocking but less long for about 45 milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 0.2.0
|
|
|
|
In #8 a bug is described that the sensor "freezes".
|
|
Cause is not well understood.
|
|
|
|
Two solutions / workarounds are found:
|
|
- call **resetSensor()** before EVERY **read()**.
|
|
This is the preferred solution.
|
|
- use **Wire.setClock(200000)** 100 K and lower speeds freezes the sensor.
|
|
With clock set to 200 K and above the sensor seems to work for longer periods.
|
|
Tested several speeds on UNO, no pull ups, < 10 cm wire.
|
|
|
|
Note: setting the I2C clock possibly interferes with other devices on the I2C bus,
|
|
so it is not a solution in the end.
|
|
|
|
The 0.2.0 version embeds the **resetSensor()** into **requestData()** to
|
|
reset the sensor if needed in both synchronous and asynchronous calls.
|
|
This keeps the API simple. The reads are 1-2 ms slower than 0.1.4. (< 50 ms).
|
|
Still far below the 80 ms mentioned in the datasheet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Connection

|
|
|
Always check datasheet!

### Tested
|
|
|
|
Verified to work with Arduino UNO and ESP32 and ESP8266 (see #8)
|
|
Please let me know if other platforms work (or not).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Constructor
|
|
|
|
- **DHT20(TwoWire \*wire = &Wire)** constructor, using a specific Wire (I2C bus).
|
|
- **bool begin(uint8_t dataPin, uint8_t clockPin)** begin for ESP32 et al, to set I2C bus pins.
|
|
- **bool begin()** initializer for non ESP32. Returns true if connected.
|
|
- **bool isConnected()** returns true if the address of the DHT20 can be seen on the I2C bus.
|
|
- **uint8_t getAddress()** returns the (fixed) address - convenience.
|
|
|
|
### Core
|
|
|
|
- **int8_t read()** read the sensor and store the values internally.
|
|
Returns the status of the read which should be 0 == **DHT20_OK**.
|
|
- **float getHumidity()** returns last Humidity read.
|
|
Multiple calls will return same value until a new **read()** is made.
|
|
- **float getTemperature()** returns last Temperature read.
|
|
Multiple calls will return same value until a new **read()** is made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Offset
|
|
|
|
- **void setHumOffset(float offset)** set an offset to calibrate the sensor (1st order).
|
|
- **float getHumOffset()** return current humidity offset, default 0.
|
|
- **void setTempOffset(float offset)** set an offset to calibrate the sensor (1st order).
|
|
- **float getTempOffset()** return current temperature offset, default 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Asynchronous interface
|
|
|
|
There are two timings that need to be considered (from datasheet):
|
|
- time between requests = 1000 ms.
|
|
- time between request and data ready = 80 ms.
|
|
|
|
The async interface allows one to continue processing after a **requestData()** has been made.
|
|
Note there should be at least **1000 milliseconds** between subsequent requests.
|
|
|
|
With **bool isMeasuring()** one can check if a new measurement is ready.
|
|
Alternative is to delay for up to 80 ms.
|
|
If so the sensor can be read with **readData()**.
|
|
|
|
To interpret the read bits to temperature, humidity and status one needs to call **convert()** as last step.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **int requestData()** signals the sensor to make a new measurement.
|
|
Note there must be at least 1000 milliseconds between requests!
|
|
- **int readData()** does the actual reading of the data.
|
|
- **int convert()** converts the read bits to temperature and humidity.
|
|
|
|
See the example **DHT20_async.ino**
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Status
|
|
|
|
- **uint8_t readStatus()** forced read of the status only.
|
|
This function blocks a few milliseconds to optimize communication.
|
|
- **bool isCalibrated()** idem, wrapper around **readStatus()**
|
|
- **bool isMeasuring()** idem, wrapper around **readStatus()**
|
|
- **bool isIdle()** idem, wrapper around **readStatus()**
|
|
- **int internalStatus()** returns the internal status of the sensor. (for debug).
|
|
|
|
| status bit | meaning |
|
|
|:------------:|:---------------------------|
|
|
| 7 | 1 = measurement, 0 = idle |
|
|
| 6 - 4 | unknown |
|
|
| 3 | 1 = calibrated, 0 = not |
|
|
| 2 - 0 | unknown |
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Experimental 0.1.4 resetSensor
|
|
|
|
Use with care!
|
|
|
|
- **uint8_t resetSensor()** if at startup the sensor does not return a status of 0x18,
|
|
three registers 0x1B, 0x1C and 0x1E need to be reset.
|
|
See datasheet 7.4 Sensor Reading Process, point 1.
|
|
There is no documentation about the meaning of these registers.
|
|
The code is based upon example code for the AHT20 (from manufacturer).
|
|
|
|
The call is needed to get the **read()** working well so it has been embedded into
|
|
the read calls. (0.2.0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Timing
|
|
|
|
- **uint32_t lastRead()** last time the sensor is read in milliseconds since start.
|
|
- **uint32_t lastRequest()** last time a request is made to make a measurement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
