DHT11 shows no values

[MiloKars]

The DHT11 sensor does not give any values. In this project the DHT12 library is used, but that should not be a problem because it should be downwards compatible, right? What could be the problem?

the DHT11 is not compatible with the DHT12 - DHT12 uses a i2c interface where DHT11 uses one wire I think...
I found from other higrow libraries that the adafruit DHT library works fine with very little modification

lib_deps = 
	BH1750
        adafruit/DHT sensor library @ 1.4.0

You need to set pin 4 before any reading.
