Decimal value on DHT11

[fplanque]

Hi!

It seems that the DHT11 does actually report 1 decimal for temperature (eg: 19.9 °C) as shown here:
https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=656964.0

Is there any way to obtain the decimal value with this library? (I always get a rounded number, eg: 19.0 or 20.0)

Thank you.

Same issue but I fixed it by looking at the latest Adafruit code. In read_temperature( ) change the relevant case to

  case DHT_TYPE_11:
    to_return = data[2];
    if (data[3] & 0x80) to_return = -1. - to_return;
    to_return += (data[3] & 0x0f) * 0.1;
    break;

BTW, it works with esp32 and that should be added to library.properties.

Could you please make a pull request so I can update the library?

Thanks!

My git skills are limited, but I think I did it right. There's another change in the Pull Request - increased COOLDOWN_TIME - that might cause problems elsewhere. Thanks for maintaining this. Adafruit should adopt it. A. Peter Allan
