Arduino Mega 2560

DHT sensors can measure temperature and humidity. You can receive fresh measurements every 2 seconds in the form of digital signals. DHT11 can sense temperature from 0 to 50 °C and humidity from 20 to 80% RH. DHT22 can sense temperature from -40 to 80 °C and humidity from 0 to 100% RH. The DHT Controller Device manages communication between a DHT sensor and the current Ozeki software.

Before you upload this code to your Arduino, please format the EEPROM... 
#include <OzIDManager.h>
#include <OzDHTSensor.h>

// global pointers

OzDHTSensor* dhtHumidity;

void setup()

  OzCommunication::setIDManager(manager);
 
  //DHT11 sensor connected to D2 pin
  dhtTemperature = new OzDHTSensor(DHT11,DHTMode::Temperature,2);
  dhtHumidity = new OzDHTSensor(DHT11,DHTMode::Humidity,2);
  //Set it to DHT22 if using DHT22

  // welcome devices
