The DHT11 Humidity & Temperature Sensor Module is a basic, low-cost digital temperature and
humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the
surrounding air and outputs a digital signal on the data pin (no analog input pins needed).
Its very simple to use, and libraries and sample codes are available for Arduino and
Raspberry Pi.
This DHT11 Humidity & Temperature Sensor Module makes is easy to connect to an Arduino or
microcontroller as it includes the pull-up resistor required to use the sensor. Only three
connections are required to be made to use the sensor – Vcc, Gnd, and Output. We have also
included the cables required to connect the DHT11 to a microcontroller.
