| DHT22 sensor | Works | Works with temperature and humidity offsets (humidity adjustment added v1.0.4)Saved copyLike this plugin, as it's just about the simplest DHT22 plugin I've found. I like that you have a temperature offset, what about a humidity offset? I have a couple of DHT22s that consistently read 7-8% higher than a calibrated hygrometer nearby, would be nice to be able to account for this.

| DHT sensor on Raspberry Pi Zero W 1 | Partly works | Frequent 'failed to read sensor' errors; old Pi CPU suspectedSaved copyDescribe Your Problem: In the statuslog I get the error: failed to read sensor. But wenn I wait a bit the device/accessoire shows values.

| DS18B20 temperature sensor | Won’t be supported | Maintainer declined; different sensor type, suggests another pluginSaved copyAfter more research, i will not add support for that, since the plugin name contains `dht` in it and that sensor is a different type of temperature sensor, i would suggest to try a plugin designed for that sensor. I found this plugin on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-ds18b20 @svenbla Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #3 · 2022-07 |
