## Description

The AM2301B is a nice but inexpensive temperature and humidity sensor [from the same folks that brought Adafruit the AM2302](https://core-electronics.com.au/am2302-wired-dht22-temperature-humidity-sensor.html).

In fact, this enclosed sensor looks an *awful lot* like the popular DHT22/AM2302 temperature and humidity sensors, but unlike classic DHT sensors, it has an I²C interface! That's right, you do not need to use a bit-bang timing-specific protocol to talk to the AM2301B, it uses plain-old-I²C. And, you can power it with anything from 2.5V to 5.5V so it's good with 3V or 5V microcontrollers. Whew, that makes things a little easier, doesn't it?

[Inside is the AHT20](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-aht20-temperature-humidity-sensor-breakout-board-stemma-qt-qwiic.html). You can take sensor readings as often as you like, and it uses standard I2C so its super easy to use with any Arduino or Linux/Raspberry Pi board.

This sensor has a typical accuracy of ±2% relative humidity, and ±0.3 °C at 20-80% RH and 20-60 °C. There is only one I2C address so it's not a good option when you need multiple humidity sensors.

That said, for maker and IoT projects? You can't beat the simplicity and price! And Adafruit have got ready-to-go working Arduino and CircuitPython code to use it. **[Check out Adafruit's detailed guide for library code, datasheet, and more](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-aht20)**

Each order comes with one AM2301B non-waterproof / wired shell module sensor with built-in pullups. You just provide any microcontroller that can run Adafruit's Arduino or CircuitPython library.
