Hello all here is my first post, not been good with forums and educate??? hoping this is in the correct spot and someone can help!! As of now I have a sketch based on virtubotix by joe dattilo, I have three dht11 sensors that are currently installed in the house upstairs basement and outside... they all regester temp and humidity well enough.. well I want to change the outside dht11 to dht22... reason is the dht11 is only good for 0 degree c.. and is currently reading -2 outside (wont go lower) due to rating but its more like -15 c.. outside... What i'm doing is using greater than thresholds on upstairs and basement to start timer on plc to control furnace etc.. works well less a few safety features later to come.. the problem i have is I want to use the reading from the outside dht11 to control the thresholds for upstairs and basement I.e if outside temp increase then lower upstairs and basement setpoint and if outside gets colder then raise threshold... at least thats the plan with the code if have in place...
I dont really know code and have got lucky to this point thus far but here is the code less the plc data
#include <dht11.h>
