Temperature and humidity measurements are a nice addition to many hobby projects. But [Rajendra Bhatt] makes the point that many of these sensors have a price tag that is well above what most hobbiests are willing to spend. He decided to take an in-depth look at the DHT11 sensor; which you can get your hands on for under $1.6 if you know where to look.
The four-pin device uses a 1-wire protocol. [Rajendra] discusses the ins and outs of the communications, demonstrating the part using a PIC 16F628. It’s a snap to connect to your project, requiring VCC, GND, and a pull-up resistor on the single data line. We’ve already seen it used on at least one project, and hope to see more of this little guy in your own hacks.

speedy –
This is the cheapest digital temperature and humidity sensor available on the internet, where you do not have to order it in bulk. It is cheaper compared to other sites.
Pros:Cheap, stable, no need for any extra hardware, stable output event fro long lengths of wire, code for Arduino is readily available
Cons:Slow update of parameters, complicated to program on own, especially for AVR MCU.
But for this price there is no comparison about it’s benefits.
