SHT2x

Arduino library for the SHT2x, HTU2x and Si70xx temperature and humidity sensors.

Description

This library is not tested extensively yet. It should work for SHT20, SHT21 and SHT25 but these are not tested yet. The SHT2x family of sensors should work up to 400 KHz I2C.

Furthermore there are a number of compatible sensors, these are not tested either.

Accuracy table

Sensor	Temperature	Humidity	Notes
SHT20	~0.3	±3.0
SHT21	~0.3	±3.0
SHT25	~0.3	±1.8
HTU20			to-do
HTU21			to-do
Si7013			to-do
Si7020			to-do
Si7021			to-do

All sensors in this family of sensors have address 0x40 (64 decimal). If you want to use more on one I2C bus one needs either an I2C multiplexer or one should switch sensors on/off like the select in SPI communication.

Interface

Constructors

All classes below are derived from SHT2x class.

• SHT2x() constructor base class.
• SHT20() constructor.
• SHT21() constructor.
• SHT25() constructor.
• HTU20() constructor.
• HTU21() constructor.
• Si7013() constructor.
• Si7020() constructor.
• Si7021() constructor.

Base interface

• bool begin(uint8_t dataPin, uint8_t 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?

Electronic ID

• uint32_t getEIDA() not tested yet.
• uint32_t getEIDB() not tested yet.
• uint8_t getFirmwareVersion() not tested yet.

Future

• test
  • get hardware
• improve documentation
• add getSerialNumber()
• improve error handling (all code paths)
• investigate blocking delay() in read
  • optimize... Q: need async interface?
• add crc8 check
• check TODO in code
