SHT15 Humidity and Temperature Sensor 

Hookup Guide 

 

SHT15 Overview

The SHT15 is an easy to use, highly accurate, digital temperature and 
humidity sensor. All you need is two lines for 2-wire communication, and 
you’ll have relative humidity and temperature readings to help you sense 
the world around you!

Features you should know about this sensor:

• Operating Voltage: 2.4V min - 5.5V max
• 2 factory calibrated sensors for relative humidity & temperature
• Digital 2-wire interface (Not I C, but similar)
• Measurement range: 0-100% RH
• Absolute RH accuracy: +/- 2% RH (10…90% RH)
• Repeatability RH: +/- 0.1% RH
• Temp. accuracy: +/- 0.3°C @ 25°C
• Precise dewpoint calculation possible
• Fast response time
• Low power consumption (typ. 30 µW)
• Here’s the datasheet

This sensor is ideal for environmental sensing and data logging and can be 
used in applications ranging from a weather station to a humidor control 
system.
