Device posts temperature as 0.0 when sensor not attached #3

The device shouldn't post a temperature when it's unable to correctly read one from the sensor.

Turns out to be less of a problem once on stripboard as you're much less likely to disconnect the sensor! would still be good to fix though, but low priority.

I guess I spoke too soon - it appear the DHT22 sensor has thin leads and doesn't connect well in the pin headers leading to exactly this problem.
