Mine is working ok.
Hello againā¦
My DHT22 stopped working again and wonāt come online, even after a reboot.
I want to start over with the latest code but iām not sure if the first post was updated with the changes mentioned in this thread.
can someone link me to the right Post? or can i follow the steps in the First Post?
Greetings
Try with this:
import cayenne.client as cayenne
import time
import Adafruit_DHT
time.sleep(55) #Sleep to allow wireless to connect before starting MQTT
MQTT_USERNAME = ""
MQTT_PASSWORD = ""
MQTT_CLIENT_ID = ""
client = cayenne.CayenneMQTTClient()
client.begin(MQTT_USERNAME, MQTT_PASSWORD, MQTT_CLIENT_ID)
timestamp = 0
while True:
client.loop()
if (time.time() > timestamp + 5):
humidity22, temp22 = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(22, 18) #22 is the sensor type, 18 is the GPIO pin number
if temp22 is not None:
client.virtualWrite(1, temp22, cayenne.TYPE_TEMPERATURE, cayenne.UNIT_CELSIUS)
if humidity22 is not None:
client.virtualWrite(2, humidity22, cayenne.TYPE_RELATIVE_HUMIDITY, cayenne.UNIT_PERCENT)
timestamp = time.time()

Hey @doerek! The first post is up to date, but now that I look at it it doesnāt include the username/password/clientid mod I wanted to make. You can certainly use it as it is though. Iāll update it here in a couple minutes after I test and make sure itās working.

@doerek I updated the code in the first post to make it easier to insert your username/password/clientID

My DHT22 is working again, thank you.
unfortunately since a few Weeks ago, the sensor sends only false measurementsā¦
Is there anything i can do to except shortening the Cable?
In the moment Iām using a 3-4m Cable.

Maybe the sensor has gone? Try to hook it directly. If the measurements are the same, maybe the sensor has gone and you need a new oneā¦
Hello again
indeedā¦
iāve tested the sensor with a ~2m Cable and itās working fine. shouldāve tried that earlierā¦
But i have another Question. I recently came across this article:
https://www.raspinews.com/dht11-raspberry-pi-cayenne/
Compared to the code in the first Postā¦wich approach should new User take?
just curiousā¦because the script seems to be different at some points.
Being a newbie myself I used the code above for my first MQTT application for DHT11 last night - I can recommend it for new users ( just watch the indents in python code as pointed out earlier in this thread)

The code in the first post is the most up to date, use that. The code in the link looks good too, just another way to do it.
I suggest to you to use the code in the first post. There are a lot ways to do it, but for a new user I think it is the best 
By the way, I updated the first post a bit over the last couple days. I realized it probably wasnāt as clear as it could be in some places so I added pictures and better descriptions.

Hi, could you copy here code for 4 sensors? I am trying but it is not workingā¦;/ thank you
I agree @ccdanieldb, @adam is the man 
@michal code for 4 dht11 sensors? Also curious also how you are wiring those up?

I didnāt test this so apologies if there are errors. Give it a try and let me know. You will need to edit lines 8, 9, 10, 28, 29, 30, and 31.
