Temperature and humidity are two very important parameters when it comes to having a greenhouse since they guarantee the quality as well as the integrity of the plants or products that are grown.

In today's post, we are going to see how to connect a SHT20 temperature and humidity sensor to our openmote b board, using i2c communication.

First of all, we are going to connect the wires between the SHT20 temperature and humidity sensor, and the openmote b board, as shown in the picture below.

In order to program the openmote, you will have to download the openmote files that you can take from step number 2 How to download openmote files >>>

Once the files are already downloaded, from the openmote-fw/ you can run the code by using docker-compose with the following command: 

docker-compose run --rm openmote test-sht20

Finally, install the screen if you do not have it yet:

sudo apt install
sudo apt install screen

And open the serial port in order to get the sensor data, by running:

screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200

Finally, you should see an output like the picture below, with the humidity and temperature coming from the SHT20 I2C sensor.
