his library has been deprecated! We are leaving this up for historical and research purposes but archiving the repository.
We are now only supporting the use of our CircuitPython libraries for use with Python.
Check out this guide for info on using DHT sensors with the CircuitPython library:https://learn.adafruit.com/dht-humidity-sensing-on-raspberry-pi-with-gdocs-logging/python-setup
Python library to read the DHT series of humidity and temperature sensors on aRaspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black.
Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit DHT series sensors ---->https://www.adafruit.com/products/385
Currently the library is tested with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. It shouldwork with Python greater than 3.4, too.
For all platforms (Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black) make sure your system isable to compile and download Python extensions withpip:
On Raspbian or Beaglebone Black's Debian/Ubuntu image you can ensure yoursystem is ready by running one or two of the following sets of commands:
Python 2:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install python-pipsudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
Python 3:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install python3-pipsudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
Usepip to install from PyPI.
Python 2:
sudo pip install Adafruit_DHT
Python 3:
sudo pip3 install Adafruit_DHT
First download the library source code from theGitHub releasespage, unzipping thearchive, and execute:
Python 2:
cd Adafruit_Python_DHTsudo python setup.py installPython 3:
cd Adafruit_Python_DHTsudo python3 setup.py installYou may also git clone the repository if you want to test an unreleasedversion:
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.git
See example of usage in the examples folder.
Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code, pleasesupport Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing products from Adafruit!
