HEllo again , I am still working with tutorials and nodemcu 8266 ... This time I am following this tutorial .
https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/pibots555/how-to-connect-dht11-sensor-with-arduino-uno-f4d239
I onlyhave changed the pin to 04 instead of 5 as is in this program though I get this error message, as defined in the program Failed to read from DHT sensor! ... Now I amwondering why its failing to lread the sensor?
I am uploading also the pictures of how I connected the pins and the code I used 
// Import required libraries
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <Hash.h>
#include <ESPAsyncTCP.h>
#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <DHT.h>
// Replace with your network credentials
const char* ssid = "REPLACETHIS";
const char* password = "REPLACETHIS";
#define DHTPIN 4 // Digital pin D1 connected to the DHT sensor
// Uncomment the type of sensor in use:
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
//#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302)
//#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301)
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
// current temperature & humidity, updated in loop()
float t = 0.0;
float h = 0.0;
// Create AsyncWebServer object on port 80
AsyncWebServer server(80);
// Generally, you should use "unsigned long" for variables that hold time
// The value will quickly become too large for an int to store
unsigned long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time DHT was updated
// Updates DHT readings every 10 seconds
const long interval = 10000;
