Th

e reported temperature matched the temperature reported by my IR thermometer (32.5 C). Pretty good. 

If you’d like to get results displayed on a web page instead, you may want to modify DHT Shield-
>SimpleServer sample.

Now I’ll had the relay shield on top, and run another sample (File->Sketchbooks->D1_mini_Examples-
>04. Shield->Relay_Shield->Blink):
