This library is implementation of the DHT sensor. I got the origins of the code from some example code given on the spark forums . Because of it’s simplicity, it has proven to work better than the Adafruit library for me.

VCC ----DATA ----------GND
Check out the tests folder for details, but essentially you have to call init() in the
setup function and call read() in your loop. The library will automatically handle the
correct delays, and will return true when it has gotten valid data.
Alternatively, when you have received valid data you can set DHT.valid = false
and continue to call read(). When DHT.valid == true the data will be ready to read.
Note: returns -1 on error. So ***do not use if(DHT.read())
