has any one tried DHT11 with lua, always gives me erroneous results, but when I test same sensor with arduino UNO and even with ESP12E using arduino IDE the results are very stable and reliable.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi, I have tested this with ESP12E module works very well, I have further added I2C expansion chip PCF8574 to get 8 additional outputs. and edited the code to control these extra outputs through I2C, works great. further I tried to work with DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor with no success. 

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi rui I cant use your init lua with Lua uplader. how can I do 

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rui Santos wrote 07/22/2015 at 09:45 • point

you can use ESPlorer to upload the code. Here's the link http://esp8266.ru/esplorer/ Go to the tutorial section in that page and download my free "Getting Started With The ESPlorer IDE" pdf. I hope this helps!

  Are you sure? yes | no
