DHT 11 Humidity & Temperature Sensor

Abstract:

Introduction: It is a digital sensor that provides temperature and humidity readings.


The capacitive humidity sensor and the thermistor measure the air and give the values. Three
main components constitute DHT11. The first is a resistive type humidity sensor which gives the
humidity reading. The second is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor whose
function is to measure the temperature of the desired area. The third is an 8-bit microcontroller
that converts and sends the obtained analogue readings of temperature and humidity into a
single digital signal. Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air. There may be situations
where the temperature may be low, but people feel the heat and it due to the high humidity.
So, humidity readings make sense at times when those situations arise. DHT 11 is low cost, small
and high-performance sensor suitable for weather monitoring system.
