[@antariuswolfonso8035]

as a beginner in home assistant - best explanation i have found... was searching ages and its soooooo easy thx!

[@drumslapper]

Good introduction for the beginner

[@Jaska1]

This was exactly what is was looking for! Does this DHT22 sensor work in parasite mode? Another tutorial I've seen adds power from the board to the data line with 4.7K Ohm resistor between.

[@kevingreene2397]

apparently the DHT22 doesnt work with HA anymore, I've got one and cant get it to work. Reasing saying DHT isnt supported anymore

[@alc7328]

Could you confirm this? I'm going nuts trying to make it work!

Where would install this in a room, I was planning on monitoring the room temperature so the system could turn on the ac automatically when the temperature goes above a threshold.

I would do a search online like, "where to mount a thermostat" or "where to install a thermostat". Most of the results will be for installing the thermostat for a center HVAC system but there will be advice you can use pertaining to the height and such. You will also find tips like to not install the thermostat where the sun from a window might hit it. I would probably follow that advice and try to find a location on the opposite side of the room as the AC. I would also try to temporarily mount it and try it out before doing a permanent installation.
