+**DHT**
+Read data from DHT temperature and humidity sensors based on the
+Adafruit [DHT sensor library](https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library).
+
+Pass as arguments the pin the sensor is connected to (as an integer) and the sensor type you are using as an integer (see list below).
+
+There are five sensors that work with this library:
+- 0 = DHT 11 (blue cage, less accurate)
+- 1 = DHT 12
+- 2 = DHT 21
+- 3 = DHT 22 (white cage)
+- 4 = AM2301
+
+The function returns an array of three elements:
+1. humidity (in %)
+2. temperature (in celcius)
+3. heat index (in celcius)
+
+If there is an error with the reading (eg. the selected sensor is wrong) all values will return as zero.
+
+```python
+#DHT sensor example
+pin = 7
+sensorType = 0
+
+data = board.dht(pin, sensorType)
+[humidity, temperature, heatIndex] = data
+
+reply =  "Humidity = " + str(humidity) + " % \t"
+reply += "Temperature = " + str(temperature) + " ˙C \t"
+reply += "Heat Index = " + str(heatIndex) + " ˙C"
+
+print(reply)
+```

 - `Arduino.close()` closes serial connection to the Arduino.
