DHT Sensor Verifiedhomebridge-temperature-sensor-dht | Won’t be supported | Maintainer declined; different sensor type, suggests another pluginSaved copyAfter more research, i will not add support for that, since the plugin name contains `dht` in it and that sensor is a different type of temperature sensor, i would suggest to try a plugin designed for that sensor.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
