The library is broken and cannot properly read humidity from the sensor. about dht11 HOT 6 CLOSED

@Zaptyp, @cliffom, thank you for your input! Extensive testing with various DHT11 sensors revealed notable performance variations. Remarkably, an older sensor from 2016, which I used for initial library development, outperformed the newer ones. To ensure consistency, I'll adhere to the 1Hz polling rate as suggested by @DrJPK. However, if it poses no issues, I might consider a 2HZ polling rate instead. Expect an updated version soon to address these inconsistencies and enhance the library's reliability.

@dhrubasaha08 I decreased from 500 to 480 from Line 77 and this working perfectly

I came here to report the same issue and was happy to see I'm not the only one having it! @dhrubasaha08 I was able to get it working with your updated zip (with the delays increased to 500). Before that I was having a similar issue that was reported: When I started the simple sample, temperature would be 253 and humidity was fine. After a refresh, humidity was 253 and temperate was fine. With your updated zip all is well and both report correctly.

Hey, @Zaptyp can you provide some more information about your setup(photo of the arduino uno and connected sensor[IMP] )? It should work flawlessly on Arduino UNO as I develop all of my library primarily on this board(Later I optimize/check compatibility on other boards).

Remove my DHT11 library then install DHT11.zip using Sketch>Include Library>Add .ZIP Library . If still doesn't work, modify(increase/decrease but >=150) the delay in /src/DHT11.cpp line no 33 & 77
