Add DHT12 sensor support #19

Closed P1X3L8 closed 1 month ago

P1X3L8 commented 10 months ago

All my T-Higrow boards use a DHT12 instead of the DHT11. After calibration, the values returned vary considerably and are unreliable for monitoring. Not sure if the DHT12 uses I2C instead of GPIO.

I fixed this issue I think, can you test the new firmware?

For me it doesn't work. It detects it as DHT11.

DHT12 seems a different platform: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/dht12.html but it doesn't work.

Same for me, detects as DHT11

Sorry for the late reply, I added dht12: https://github.com/bruvv/LILYGO-T-Higrow-Esphome/blob/main/LILYGO-T-Higrow-ESP32.yaml#L113 but I do not that sensor so can any of you guys test it?

bruvv no worries. Your changes won't work. I tried fixing this myself some time ago and found that the esphome DHT12 platform doesn't support 1-wire mode. You have to use DHT11 platform with the DHT12 sensor. This isn't ideal and the accuracy/reliability is poor. I've given up on these boards for now and am looking for another solution.
