CHT8305

Arduino library for CHT8305 temperature and humidity sensor.

EXPERIMENTAL minimal tested.

If you are able to test this library, please let me know your experiences.

Description

The CHT8305 is a temperature and humidity sensor.

sensor range accuracy* resolution
temperature -40°..125° max 2°C 0.1° C
humidity 0%..100% RH max 5% RH 0.1% RH

* Accuracy for full range. More exact details for smaller ranges, see datasheet (page 8).

One of the interesting functions is the support of an ALERT function. This prevents the need for continuous polling of the sensor.

Tests

  • Temperature() and humidity() works on AVR.
    • default about 14 milliseconds at 14 bit resolution.
  • offset functions work.
  • getVoltage() function works on AVR but meaning unclear.
  • getManufacturer(), getVersionID() works on AVR.

The ALERT functions are not tested. The reason is that the sensor I have does not expose the ALERT pin.

If you are able to test the ALERT functions, please let me know your experiences.

Hardware

Always check datasheet for connections.

Address Register name

0x01 CHT8305_REG_HUMIDITY

Alert

The CHT8305 has an ALERT logic output pin with an open drain structure. This output is active low. (if the breakout supports this.)

I2C

I2C bus speeds supported up to 400 KHz.

AD0 Address Notes
GND 0x40 CHT8305_DEFAULT_ADDRESS
VCC 0x41
SDA 0x42
SCL 0x43

Pull ups are needed on SDA, SCL and optional to ALERT.

Interface

  • CHT8305(TwoWire *wire = &Wire) Constructor with default I2C bus.
  • int begin(const uint8_t address = CHT8305_DEFAULT_ADDRESS) sets address, default = 0x40.
  • int begin(int sda, int scl, const uint8_t address = CHT8305_DEFAULT_ADDRESS) idem ESP32 et. al.
  • bool isConnected() checks if address can be seen on the I2C bus.
  • int read() reads both the temperature and humidity.
  • uint32_t lastRead() returns lastRead in MilliSeconds since start sketch.
  • float getHumidity() returns last humidity read. Will return the same value until read() is called again.
  • float getTemperature() returns last temperature read. Will return the same value until read() is called again.

Conversion delay

  • void setConversionDelay(uint8_t cd = 14) default is 14 milliseconds (datasheet). 7 ms failed. 8 ms worked, so values below 8 are mapped to 8 in the library. Expect 10 ms is pretty save. Use at own risk. It might be that lower resolutions allow shorter delays. This is not tested.
  • uint8_t getConversionDelay() returns set value.

Offset

Adding offsets works well in the "normal range" but might introduce under- or overflow at the ends of the sensor range.

  • void setHumOffset(float offset) idem.
  • void setTempOffset(float offset) idem.
  • float getHumOffset() idem.
  • float getTempOffset() idem.

If the offset is not the same over the operational range, consider a mapping function for temperature and humidity.

Configuration register

Check the datasheet for details of the register bits.

  • void setConfigRegister(uint16_t bitmask) idem. Default value 0x1004.
  • uint16_t getConfigRegister() idem.
bit mask name description
15 0x8000 soft reset 1 = reboot the sensor to default
14 0x4000 clock stretch 1 = ON, 0 = OFF (default)
13 0x2000 heater 1 = ON, 0 = OFF (default)
12 0x1000 mode 1 = read both (default), 0 = read T or RH
11 0x0800 vccs 1 = >2.8V, 0 = <2.8V
10 0x0400 T-RES 1 = 11 bit, 0 = 14 bit (default)
9-8 0x0300 H-RES 10 = 8 bit, 01 = 11 bit, 00 = 14 bit (default)
7-6 0x00C0 ALTM Alert Mode (datasheet)
5 0x0020 APS Alert pending status
4 0x0010 H-ALT Humidity Alert status
3 0x0008 T-ALT Temperature Alert status
2 0x0004 VCC enable 1 = enable VCC measurement (default), 0 = disable
1-0 0x0003 reserved. do not change.

Getters / setters config register

Note: setting setConfigRegister(bitmask) can be faster.

Wrapper functions for easy configuration.

  • void softReset() sets the soft reset bit in the configuration, causing the sensor to reset.
  • void setI2CClockStretch(bool on = false) check datasheet.
  • bool getI2CClockStretch()
  • void setHeaterOn(bool on = false) switch on internal heater. Can improve humidity readings. See datasheet for (limited) details.
    • WARNING User is responsible for timing as library does not support timing.
  • bool getHeater() Returns status of the heater.
  • void setMeasurementMode(bool both = true) both T and H or single value.
  • bool getMeasurementMode() returns mode set above.
  • bool getVCCstatus() 1 == > 2.8V 0 == < 2.8V Useful when battery operated?
  • void setTemperatureResolution(uint8_t res = 0) 1 = 11 bit, 0 = 14 bit (default).
  • uint8_t getTemperatureResolution() idem.
  • void setHumidityResolution(uint8_t res = 0) 2 = 8 bit, 1 = 11 bit, 0 = 14 bit (default).
  • uint8_t getHumidityResolution() idem.
  • void setVCCenable(bool enable = false) idem.
  • bool getVCCenable() idem.

Alert

See register 3 datasheet page 12 for details.

  • void setAlertTriggerMode(uint8_t mode) see table below.
  • uint8_t getAlertTriggerMode() returns 0, 1, 2 or 3.
mode trigger notes
0 T or H default
1 T
2 H
3 T and H
  • bool getAlertPendingStatus() idem.
  • bool getAlertHumidityStatus() idem.
  • bool getAlertTemperatureStatus() idem.
  • bool setAlertLevels(float temperature, float humidity)
    • the values will be truncated to the nearest value possible.
    • the ALERT supports HIGH limit only ==> there is no LOW limit ALERT.
    • note: the datasheet is ambiguous with respect to the formula used.
  • float getAlertLevelTemperature() returns the truncated value set.
  • float getAlertLevelHumidity() returns the truncated value set.

The ALERT pin triggers with a falling edge (from HIGH to LOW).

Voltage

VCC measurement should be enabled by means of void setVCCenable(true) or by setConfigRegister(0x0004).

  • float getVoltage() unclear what unit is used.

Best guess for now: 16 bit data implies voltage = 5.0V * value / 32768.0; Varied slightly 5.000 - 4.999 also for 3V3 power supply.

Conclusion: it is unclear how to interpret this register.

Meta data

  • uint16_t getManufacturer() returns 0x5959.
  • uint16_t getVersionID() return value may differ. Test returned 0x8305.

Future

  • test (see below)
  • elaborate documentation.

test

  • test ESP32, other platforms?
  • test performance.
  • test resolution bits.
    • delay ?
  • test configuration functions.
  • test ALERT functions.
  • test write / readRegister with a single uint16_t to simplify code.

Could

  • add uint8_t getAddress()
  • add void readTemperature() does single acquisition.
  • add void readHumidity() does single acquisition.
