The DHT22, also known as AM2302, combines temperature and humidity measurement in a compact module. It is factory calibrated and provides digital readings, making it a familiar choice for DIY weather stations, smart-home monitoring and other environmental measurement projects.
Key benefits
-
Typical accuracy ±0.5°C and ±2% RH under datasheet test conditions; not a guarantee across the full range.
-
Low power consumption and a digital connection. Cable lengths up to 20m are conditional on supply voltage, wiring and signal integrity; long runs are not guaranteed in every setup.
-
Integrated design: capacitive humidity sensing, temperature sensing and an 8-bit MCU process readings within the sensor.
-
Digital single-bus interface for straightforward wiring with the correct software and pull-up arrangement.
-
Factory calibration provides a starting point; accuracy still depends on operating conditions and ageing.
Typical applications
-
HVAC monitoring and humidifiers
-
Indoor and suitably protected outdoor weather stations
-
Smart appliances
-
General monitoring and inspection projects; not a certified medical sensor
-
Data loggers
-
Automated climate monitoring and control
-
Also useful for monitoring temperature and humidity in a garage or workshop.
