The DHT11 measures how warm it is (in degrees Celsius) and how humid the air is (in percent). It gives a new measurement every 2 seconds.
🔌 This is how you connect it
- DAT (data) to a pin, for example D2
- VCC to 5V
- GND to GND

✨ What can you do with it?
- A mini weather station
- A fan that turns on when it is too warm
- A warning when it is too humid in the bathroom
💡 Tip
Try breathing on the sensor. Then you will see the humidity go up right away!
