Home Assistant on linux with arduino and RPi

Hey All,
So I have HA running on an Ubuntu 18 machine as I could not get the Pi Zero version of Hassio working. I am using an Arduino Uno for the DIY smart home gear and want to use a DHT11 sensor with it but I can’t use it with HA’s Arduino component. So my next thought was to use the pi with MQTT on it but I could not get it working.

Am I being dumb?
Someone help

Why can’t you use the arduino component?

there is no way to use the dht11 sensor and the only component in the repo is for the pi

The arduino component uses the firmata firmware, which appears to support dht11. Also it is not restricted to pi, so I am not sure where you are getting your info.

i couldn’t get HA / arduino to use it as a sensor as it isnt an analog signal

Ok I see the problem. I don’t think my suggestion is going to work.

I think a wemos d1 or similar with tasmota would work.

esphomelib would also work.
