AHT10Model: AHT10
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 1.8...3.6V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor, outdoor
Measuring range: -40...+85C
Resolution: 0.01С
Price: 1-2 USD
Sensor life, years: 1-2
Datasheet: AHT10.pdf
Remarks: A temperature and humidity sensor developed by the Chinese on their own sensor base. Apparently, there is an underestimation of the temperature.
AM2302Model: AM2302
Interface: Single-bus
Power supply: 3.3...5.5V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor
Measuring range: -40...+80С
Resolution: 0.1С
Price: 2-3 USD
Sensor life, years: < 1
Datasheet: AM2302.pdf
Remarks: DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor. Newer, more accurate and more expensive than DHT11, but still not good enough to work "in the field". The temperature is measured correctly, low resolution.
AM2320Model: AM2320
Interface: i2c, single-bus
Power supply: 3.1...5.5V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor
Measuring range: -40...+80С
Resolution: 0.1С
Price: 1-2 USD
Sensor life, years: 3-5
Datasheet: AM2320.pdf
Remarks: Further development of the AM2302/DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor with the i2c bus. The temperature is measured correctly, low resolution.
BME280Model: BME280
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 1.7...3.6V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor
Measuring range: -40...+85С
Resolution: 0.01C
Price: 9 USD
Sensor life, years: 1-3
Datasheet: BME280.pdf
Remarks: Temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure sensor. The temperature remains correct even in the event of a humidity malfunction. With frequent measurement, a small internal heating of the sensor at 1-2C is possible.
BME680Model: BME680
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 1.7...3.6V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor
Measuring range: -40...+85
Resolution: 0.01С
Price: 14 USD
Sensor life, years: 1-3
Datasheet: BME680.pdf
Remarks: Temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and air quality sensor. With frequent measurements, a small internal heating at 1-2C is possible. When measuring the air quality, it warms up to 200-400C, at this time it is impossible to measure other parameters.
DHT11Model: DHT11
Interface: Single-bus
Power supply: 3.3...5.5V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor
Measuring range: 0...50С
Resolution: 0.1С
Price: < 1 USD
Sensor life, years: < 1
Datasheet: DHT11.pdf
Remarks: Cheap, outdated, short-lived, with the largest errors.
DS18B20Model: DS18B20
Interface: 1-wire
Power supply: 3.0...5.5V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor, outdoor
Measuring range: -55...+125C
Resolution: 0.0625C
Price: < 1 USD
Sensor life, years: 5+
Datasheet: DS18B20.pdf
Remarks: The cheapest, fairly accurate and trouble-free temperature sensor. When placed in a heat shrink, the junction becomes sealed and serves for a long time despite the rains and high humidity.
HDC1080Model: HDC1080
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 2.7...5.5V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor, outdoor
Measuring range: -40...+125С
Resolution: 0.01С
Price: 2 USD
Sensor life, years: 1
Datasheet: HDC1080.pdf
Remarks: Temperature and humidity sensor. There are no complaints about temperature measurement. High repeatability. Each sensor has its own serial number.
HTU21DModel: HTU21D
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 1.5...3.6V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor
Measuring range: -40...+125С
Resolution: 0.01С
Price: 1 - 2 USD
Sensor life, years: 1
Datasheet: HTU21D.pdf
Remarks: Temperature and humidity sensor. There are no complaints about temperature measurement. The control commands are the same as for SHT21 and SI7021. Sensors HTU21D SI7021 and SHT21 are analogous and interchangeable.
SHT20Model: SHT20
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 2.1...3.6V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor, outdoor
Measuring range: -40...+125С
Resolution: 0.01С
Price: 2 - 3 USD
Sensor life, years: 1
Datasheet: SHT20.pdf
Remarks: Temperature and humidity sensor. The Sensor readings are close to the reference and to the next series of sensors. Sensors HTU21D SI7021 and SHT21 are analogous and interchangeable. The predecessor series before SHT3X, the sensors are very similar to the next series, but are cheaper. Can work outdoors for quite a long time.
SHT31Model: SHT31
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 2.2...5.5V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor, outdoor
Measuring range: -40...+125С
Resolution: 0.01С
Price: 2 - 3 USD
Sensor life, years: 3+
Datasheet: SHT31.pdf
Remarks: Temperature and humidity sensor. The readings between two sensors in the series can coincide with an accuracy of 0.05C (observed twice). The readings are close enough to the standards, while giving correct readings in all temperature and humidity ranges. "Survives" on the street under a heat shield or in a weather booth.
SI7021Model: SI7021
Interface: i2c
Power supply: 1.9...3.6V
Data type: t air
Usage: indoor
Measuring range: -40...+125С
