AM2302 ESPHome Compatibility Problem

@AaronCake

but you’ll still get incorrect DHT readings because the sensor wicks heat up from the board.

Yeah that point I made earlier seems to have been overlooked.

@tom_l

even if the DHT was working it would be no use as it would be self heating from the ESP board.

The layout is terrible with the ESP chip so close to the DHT.

That is an important point …
I have given up on the DHT22 board …

Apparently I have tried it on the DHT 11 and the same code works like a charm . I only had to change the model type .

thank you all guys :-

You have to put full name, because “pin: 2” does not translate into GPIO2. Type full name, i.e. pin: GPIO2

[birchman (Mattias Björkman)]

Pin 2 means GPIO2.
At least according to the documentation.

Pin¶

ESPHome always uses the chip-internal GPIO numbers . These internal numbers are always integers like 16 and can be prefixed by GPIO . For example to use the pin with the internal GPIO number 16, you could type GPIO16 or just 16 .
