Raspberry pi 4 to measure temperature and humidity with DHT11/DHT22 sensor

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-dht
apt-get install libgpiod2

temp.py

import Adafruit_DHT
import time
 
DHT_SENSOR = Adafruit_DHT.DHT11
DHT_PIN = 4

#while loop is there because sometime it does not get the temp.
while True:
    humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read(DHT_SENSOR, DHT_PIN)
    if humidity is not None and temperature is not None:
        print("Temp={0:0.1f}C Humidity={1:0.1f}%".format(temperature, humidity))
    else:
        print("Sensor failure. Check wiring.");
    time.sleep(1);

run:

python3 temp.py

For DHT22 sensor:

temp-dht22.py

import Adafruit_DHT
import time

DHT_SENSOR = Adafruit_DHT.DHT22
DHT_PIN = 4

humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read(DHT_SENSOR, DHT_PIN)
if humidity is not None and temperature is not None:
    #print("Temp={0:0.1f}C Humidity={1:0.1f}%".format(temperature, humidity))
    print("{0},{1}".format(temperature, humidity))
