DHT 11 Sensor in HA

1

Hi,
Ive tried to use new function of release 0.7 and cannot force it to work.
I use the following:

sensor:
  platform: dht
  sensor: DHT11
  pin: 4
  monitored_conditions:
    - temperature
    - humidity

connected to my pi zero w. The sensor is connected to pin 7 on the board that’s named GPIO4 so should be correct right?

I get following error when I reboot HA.

2020-03-20 21:29:46 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] dht: Error on device update!

ImportError: cannot import name 'Raspberry_Pi_2_Driver' from 'Adafruit_DHT' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Adafruit_DHT/__init__.py)

Can anyone advise on what could be wrong? I’m also using standard Hassos here downloaded from HA github.
