NOTE: If you're looking for a sensor with higher accuracy, DHT22 might be more preferable over DHT11, as it offers significantly higher accuracy in both temperature and humidity measurements, has a wider operating temperature and humidity range, and generally provides more precise data, although it is slightly more expensive than the DHT11.
