Hey there,
I did actually connect a DHT-11 Temp sensor, as I had it in my parts box.
You can basically use the GPIOs for everything you can think of, so when you have setup the build evinronment, there's nothing stopping you from external peripherals at least.

Hi Off.
Sounds as you have the DHT-11 running on the ESP8266? Did you post/show that somewhere?
That would be a very nice option for a small Wifi Sensor.
Just the ESP8266 and the DHT-11 + maybe a 3,3v Step-up to power it from a single AA Cell.
Then let the ESP8266 Wake-up every x minuts and post the temp and humidity values to a webserver somewhere in the network.

greets
Johannes

I just pushed my version: https://bitbucket.org/0ff/esp-driver-dht
Feedback is always appreciated

- Wed Nov 12, 2014 2:38 am #2498 you did a good job. You should clean it up and put some examples up. And dont forget the .h file . I could not get yours to work but i can use your code to get something running. Thank you.
