i got the dht22 running with a switch in domoticz, works fine but after 6 hours it stops working and data goes to 0
i googled and found a solution (at least thats whatt i think) but im not able to conect the scripts
This seems to be the solutionhttps://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q ... uple-hoursAs fas as I am aware this is a fairly well known problem with the DHT22 (models such as the DHT11 do not seem to be affected).
After a random amount of time which can vary between seconds and months they stop responding. The only solution I am aware of is a power cycle.
A solution I have used is to power the DHT22 from a Pi GPIO. The GPIO can supply the limited current needed and is within the device specs of 3 to 5 volts. If I detect a number of consecutive timeouts I switch the GPIO off then on again a few seconds later.
An example of such code is my pigpio Python module DHT22.

"""
A class to read relative humidity and temperature from the
DHT22 sensor. The sensor is also known as the AM2302.
The sensor can be powered from the Pi 3V3 or the Pi 5V rail.
Powering from the 3V3 rail is simpler and safer. You may need
to power from 5V if the sensor is connected via a long cable.
For 3V3 operation connect pin 1 to 3V3 and pin 4 to ground.
Connect pin 2 to a gpio.
For 5V operation connect pin 1 to 5V and pin 4 to ground.
The following pin 2 connection works for me. Use at YOUR OWN RISK.

locks it will be power cycled to restart the readings.
Taking readings more often than about once every two seconds will
eventually cause the DHT22 to hang. A 3 second interval seems OK.
