SHT85

Arduino library for the SHT85 temperature and humidity sensor

Based upon the SHT31 library - https://github.com/RobTillaart/SHT31

Warning: to keep self-heating below 0.1°C, the SHT85 sensor should not be used for more than 10% of the time.

The SHT85 sensors should work up to 1000 KHz, however during tests with an Arduino UNO it stopped at ~500 KHz so to be safe I recommend not to use it above 400 KHz. Also the differences in readtime becomes quite small. (max 15% gain). See output example sketch.

I2C speed	read ms	notes
100 KHz	5.11
150 KHz	4.79
200 KHz	4.64
250 KHz	4.56
300 KHz	4.50
350 KHz	4.47
400 KHz	4.45
450 KHz	4.43
500 KHz	4.42
550 KHz	----	fail

Compatibility

This library should also work for SHT30, SHT31 and SHT35 but this is not verified yet.

SENSOR	Temperature accuracy	Humidity accuracy
SHT30	~0.3	2.0
SHT31	~0.3	1.5
SHT35	~0.2	1.5
SHT85	~0.2	1.5

Need to investigate if the interface is identical? If so the libraries might be merged.

Interface

Base interface

SHT85() constructor.
begin(address, dataPin, clockPin) begin function for ESP8266 & ESP32; WARNING: not verified yet returns false if device address is incorrect or device cannot be reset.
begin(address, TwoWire *wire = &Wire) for platforms with multiple I2C busses.
read(bool fast = true) blocks 4 (fast) or 15 (slow) milliseconds + actual read + math. Does read both the temperature and humidity.
isConnected() check sensor is reachable over I2C. Returns false if not connected.
uint16_t readStatus() details see datasheet and Status fields below
uint32_t lastRead() in milliSeconds since start of program.
reset(bool hard = false) resets the sensor, soft reset by default. Returns false if fails.
getHumidity() returns relative humidity in %. Needs a read() to update.
getTemperature() returns temperature in °C. Needs a read() to update.

Error interface

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.

Error	Symbolic	Description
0x00	SHT_OK	no error
0x81	SHT_ERR_WRITECMD	I2C write failed
0x82	SHT_ERR_READBYTES	I2C read failed
0x83	SHT_ERR_HEATER_OFF	Could not switch off heater
0x84	SHT_ERR_NOT_CONNECT	Could not connect
0x85	SHT_ERR_CRC_TEMP	CRC error in temperature
0x86	SHT_ERR_CRC_HUM	CRC error in humidity
0x87	SHT_ERR_CRC_STATUS	CRC error in statusfield

Heater interface

Use the heater for max 180 seconds, and let it cool down an equal period of time.

WARNING: Do not use heater for long periods.

WARNING: The user is responsible to switch the heater off manually! The class does NOT do this automatically.

setHeatTimeout(uint8_t seconds) Set the time out of the heat cycle. This value is truncated to max 180 seconds.
heatOn() switches heat cycle on. Returns false if fails.
heatOff() switches heat cycle off. Returns false if fails.
isHeaterOn() is the sensor still in heating cycle? replaces heatUp(). Will switch heat off if max heating time has passed.
heatUp() will be obsolete in the future.

Async interface

See async example for usage

requestData() requests a new measurement. Returns false if this fails.
dataReady() checks if enough time has passed to read the data. (typical 15 millis)
readData(bool fast = true) fast skips CRC check. Returns false if reading fails or in case of a CRC fail.

Status fields

BIT	Description	values
15	Alert pending status	'0': no pending alerts
		'1': at least one pending alert - default
14	Reserved	'0'
13	Heater status	'0’ : Heater OFF - default
		'1’ : Heater ON
12	Reserved	'0'
11	Humidity tracking alert	'0’ : no alert - default
		'1’ : alert
10	Temperature tracking alert	'0’ : no alert - default
		'1’ : alert
9-5	Reserved	'00000'
4	System reset detected	'0': no reset since last ‘clear status register’ command
		'1': reset detected (hard or soft reset command or supply fail) - default
3-2	Reserved	'00'
1	Command status	'0': last cmd executed successfully
		'1': last cmd not processed. Invalid or failed checksum
0	Write data checksum status	'0': checksum of last write correct
		'1': checksum of last write transfer failed

Future

verify working with ESP32
merge with other SHT sensors if possible
investigate command ART (auto sampling at 4 Hz)
investigate command BREAK (stop auto sampling)
direct Fahrenheit formula
