DHT22 Temperature & Humidity Sensor.
.. _Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/385
The DHT22 and DHT11 require external pull up resistors on the data line. To do this, solder
a resistor with *about* 4.7kΩ (anything in the range from 1kΩ to 10kΩ probably works fine, but
if you're having issues try the 4.7kΩ recommended by the manufacturer) between ``DATA`` and ``3.3V``.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: dht
pin: D2
temperature:
name: "Living Room Temperature"
humidity:
name: "Living Room Humidity"
update_interval: 60s
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin where the DHT bus is connected.
- **temperature** (**Required**): The information for the temperature sensor.
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **humidity** (**Required**): The information for the humidity sensor
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **model** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the DHT model, can be
one of ``AUTO_DETECT``, ``DHT11``, ``DHT22``, ``DHT22_TYPE2``, ``AM2302``, ``RHT03``, ``SI7021``, ``AM2120``
and helps with some connection issues. Defaults to ``AUTO_DETECT``. Auto detection doesn't work for the SI7021 chip.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the
sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
.. note::
The default ``accuracy_decimals`` value of the *humidity* levels is ``0``, as the DHT11 for which this was
originally written does not have a higher resolution. All other DHT sensors have a higher resolution, it's worth
to configure them with ``accuracy_decimals: 1``.
If you're seeing lots of invalid temperature/humidity warnings in the logs, try manually setting the
DHT model with the ``model:`` configuration variable. Other problems could be wrong pull-up resistor values
on the DATA pin or too long cables.
