Getting environment conditions is the first and simpler task required to create more complex electronic automations. Raspberry PI with DHT11 sensor can get tempreature and humidity values with cheap pieces
In this article, I will show you how to interface a Raspberry PI with DHT11 Sensor using Python.
The DHT11 Sensor, which acronym stands for “Digital Humidity and Temperature”, is a cheap solution to measure indoor Temperature and Humidity (it is not indicated for outdoor uses). It can be used with Arduino (usually in Weather Station projects or similar) or alone, directly connected to a Raspberry PI.
