Getting a little Overheated, with my BRUH MultiSensor(s)

Configuration
1

So, I put together 3 of Ben’s BRUH MultiSensors, and ALL of them are Not doing the math properly. Now, I understand that, no 2 sensors will have the same readings. But, according to my sensors, my Livingroom is 815.5 degrees ‘F’, Real Feel is approching the Sun’s surface Temp, as you can see, by the pic below. ALL the numbers are OFF the charts, I can turn the LED on, to Green, but can not change the color or shut it off. And the PIR is aways detecting Motion, even when I put it into a box, in another room.

Now, I have compared my sketch to Ben’s, character for character, and don’t see any mistakes. All my T’s are crossed and I’s dotted, the format is proper.

Does anyone have an idea why my numbers are so far, far, far, far, far, off???

Have you connected your temperature/humidity sensor correctly?

OK, so ya, I found the mis-wired components, and corrected them. So, now the LED, LDR and the PIR are all working properly. But, the temperature and humidity sensors are still running high.

While typing this reply, I realized that I purchased, “Gowoops T&H Sensor, Digital DHT11” and NOT a DHT22. :frowning_face::frowning_face::frowning_face::frowning_face::frowning_face::frowning_face:

How much work is it, to make the DHT11’s work in Ben’s sketch???

I think that DHT11 and DHT22 have the same wiring and pinout, so no need to change the sketch. The real difference between those two sensors is the temperature range and response time.

Search for this line #define DHTTYPE DHT22 and change it to #define DHTTYPE DHT11 and see if it works

Thanks, changing the “DHTTYPE” to DHT11 resolved the High readings on the Temp and Humidity. Which brought the “REAL FEEL” inline also
