# DHT22 module This module is compatible with DHT22 and DHT21. No need to use a resistor to connect the pin data of DHT22 to ESP8266. ## Example ```lua PIN = 4 -- data pin, GPIO2 dht22 = require("dht22") dht22.read(PIN) t = dht22.getTemperature() h = dht22.getHumidity() if h == -1 then print("Error reading from DHT22") else -- temperature in degrees Celsius and Farenheit print("Temperature: "..(t / 10).."."..(t % 10).." deg C") print("Temperature: "..(9 * t / 50 + 32).."."..(9 * t / 5 % 10).." deg F") -- humidity print("Humidity: "..(h/10).."."..(h%10).."%") end -- release module dht22 = nil package.loaded["dht22"]=nil ``` ## Functions ### read read(pin) Read humidity and temperature from DHT22. **Parameters:** * pin - ESP8266 pin connect to data pin in DHT22 ### getHumidity getHumidity() Returns the humidity of the last reading. **Returns:** * last humidity reading in per thousand ### getTemperature getTemperature() Returns the temperature of the last reading. **Returns:** * last temperature reading in 0.1ÂșC
