Introducing the Humble_Rpi-plugin-dhtsensor gem

require 'humble_rpi-plugin-dhtsensor'

class Echo

  def notice(s)
    puts "%s: %s" % [Time.now, s]
  end
end

rpi = HumbleRPiPluginDhtSensor.new(settings: {pin: 4}, 
                                      variables: {notifier: Echo.new})
rpi.start

Output:

ready to monitor temperature and humidity

2016-02-20 13:25:49 +0000: pi/dht11_sensor: temperature: 16.0 humidity: 38.0

In the above example I tested the sensor by adding a cup of water (that was previously warm) next to the DHT11 sensor at 1315hrs. I then removed the cup of water at 1319hrs and I observed it took 1 or more minutes for the temperature to change.

Notes:

• By default the temperature and humidity is refreshed every 3 seconds
• The temperature and humidity will be published when ever the temperature value changes by 1 or more, or if the humidity value changes by 2 or more.
