Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @noahseeger/dht11-temp
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install dht11-temp
What This Skill Does
Reads temperature and humidity from a DHT11 sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi. The GPIO pin is configurable via CLI argument or environment variable, defaulting to pin 19.
Supports both CLI argument and environment variable pin configuration, making it easy to use in automated scripts without editing code.
When to use it
- Logging greenhouse temperature every 30 minutes via cron
- Monitoring humidity in a server room or basement
- Building a home weather station with a Pi
- Alerting when humidity exceeds a threshold in a script
- Capturing sensor data to a file for later analysis
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: read the current temperature and humidity from the DHT11 on GPIO 4
AGENT
- 1Sets DHT_PIN=4 or passes 4 as a CLI argument
- 2Runs sudo python3 scripts/dht/main.py 4
- 3Captures stdout output
- 4Parses line 1 as temperature in Celsius and line 2 as humidity percentage
OUTPUT
Temperature: 22.5°C, Humidity: 58%
