Description:
The DHT22 Humidity and Temperature Sensor is a low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to monitor the surrounding air and delivers a digital signal pin. It is quite simple to use, although accurate timing is required for data collection. Easily plug the first pin to 3-5V power, one pin into your data input pin, and the last into the ground. Despite the fact that it transmits data via a single connection, it is not Dallas One Wire compatible! this sensor is more precise and accurate than the DHT11 and works in a higher temperature/humidity range, but it is more expensive and larger, According to its datasheet, it is capable of detecting 0 to 100% relative humidity and temperatures from -40 to 125-degree celsius. The resolution for both humidity and temperature is 0.1 (RH and degree celsius) while the accuracy is +/ 2 for humidity and +/ 0.3 for temperature.
Principle of Work:
The S pin is used to read data to the microcontroller. Because there is no clock pin like in I2C and SPI, the DHT22 must operate in asynchronous serial mode, similar to RS-232. Because a pull-up resistor is required, the sensor can function with both 3.3V and 5V sources. Because of this communication mechanism, known as single-bus, the S pin of the module can be connected to any digital pin of a microcontroller. The DHT22 is factory calibrated and produces serial data, making it extremely simple to set up. A 5K pull-up resistor is used to connect the data pin to an MCU I/O pin. This data pin serially outputs the temperature and humidity values. The data pin will output 8 bit humidity integer data + 8 bit humidity decimal data +8-bit temperature integer data +8-bit fractional temperature data +8-bit parity bit. To request that the DHT11 module provide these data, the I/O pin must be briefly low and then maintained high. The datasheet explains the length of each host signal in precise parts.

Serial.println("================================="); Serial.println("Sample DHT22..."); // read without samples. // @remark We use read2 to get a float data, such as 10.1*C // if user doesn't care about the accurate data, use read to get a byte data, such as 10*C. float temperature = 0; float humidity = 0; int err = SimpleDHTErrSuccess; if ((err = dht22.read2(&temperature, &humidity, NULL)) != SimpleDHTErrSuccess) { Serial.print("Read DHT22 failed, err="); Serial.println(err);delay(2000); return; } Serial.print("Sample OK: "); Serial.print((float)temperature); Serial.print(" *C, "); Serial.print((float)humidity); Serial.println(" RH%"); // DHT22 sampling rate is 0.5HZ. delay(2500); }

Comparisons:
The DHT22 and DHT11 modules are both popular temperature and humidity sensing modules, but there are some differences between them:
- Accuracy and precision: The DHT22 module is generally more accurate and precise than the DHT11 module. The DHT22 has a temperature measurement range of -40°C to 125°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C, and a humidity measurement range of 0% to 100% with an accuracy of ±2.5%. The DHT11, on the other hand, has a temperature measurement range of 0°C to 50°C with an accuracy of ±2°C, and a humidity measurement range of 20% to 80% with an accuracy of ±5%.
- Response time: The DHT22 module has a faster response time than the DHT11 module. The DHT22 takes around 2 seconds to provide a temperature reading and around 2 to 5 seconds to provide a humidity reading. The DHT11 takes around 2 seconds to provide a temperature reading and around 5 to 10 seconds to provide a humidity reading.
- Price: The DHT11 module is generally less expensive than the DHT22 module.
- Power supply: Both the DHT22 and DHT11 modules can operate on a supply voltage of 3.3V to 5V, but the DHT22 module has a wider operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V.
