Installation

1. Navigate to your MagicMirror's modules directory using the terminal:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/J0n4e/MMM-DHT22.git

3. Install required dependencies:

cd MMM-DHT22
npm install

4. Install Adafruit DHT Library:

cd ~
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.git
cd Adafruit_Python_DHT
sudo python3 setup.py install

5. Test the Library (Optional):

cd examples
python3 AdafruitDHT.py 22 <GPIO_PIN>

Configuration To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file of your MagicMirror installation:

modules: [
  {
    module: 'MMM-DHT22',
    position: 'top_right',
    config: {
      // Configuration options here
    }
  }
]

Configuration Options

• fontSize: Font size for the header.
• fontFamily: Font family for module text.
• showThermometerIcon: Set to true to show the thermometer icon.
• showDropletIcon: Set to true to show the droplet icon.
• showTemperatureText: Set to true to show the temperature text.
• showHumidityText: Set to true to show the humidity text.
• headerText: The header text to be displayed above the values.
• updateInterval: Update interval in seconds for fetching sensor data.
• temperatureIconColor: set the color for the temperature icon
• temperatureFontSize: set the color for the humidity icon
• temperatureFontSize: set the size for the temperature icon
• humidityFontSize: set the size for the humidity icon
• temperatureOffset: calibrate the temperature reading
• humidityOffset: calibrate the humidity reading
• temperatureUnit: channge the units Celsius of Fahrenheit
• layout: Default layout style ('horizontal' or 'vertical')

Example Configuration Here's an example configuration for the MMM-DHT22 module:

modules: [
  {
    module: 'MMM-DHT22',
    position: 'top_right',
    config: {
    gpioPin: 6, // GPIO pin number where the DHT22 sensor is connected
    fontSize: '16px', // Font size for the header
    fontFamily: 'Arial', // Font family for module text
    showThermometerIcon: true, // Show the thermometer icon
    showDropletIcon: true, // Show the droplet icon
    showTemperatureText: true, // Show the "Temperature" text
    showHumidityText: true, // Show the "Humidity" text
    headerText: 'Local Environment', // Header text displayed above the values
    updateInterval: 120, // Update interval in seconds for fetching sensor data
    temperatureIconColor: 'red', // Color of the temperature icon
    humidityIconColor: 'blue', // Color of the humidity icon
    temperatureFontSize: '18px', // Font size for temperature
    humidityFontSize: '14px', // Font size for humidity
    temperatureOffset: 0, // Temperature offset adjustment in degrees Celsius
    humidityOffset: 0,    // Humidity offset adjustment in percentage points
    temperatureUnit: 'F', // Default to Celsius ('C') or use 'F' for Fahrenheit
    layout: 'horizontal', // Default layout style ('horizontal' or 'vertical')
    }
  }
]
