The Aosong AM2315 is a wall mountable temperature and humidity sensor (HCSENS0043) based on the AM2315 capacitive digital sensor. It provides a two wire digital I2C output suitable for interfacing to most 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers and can be powered from a 3.5V to 5.5V (5V recommended) power supply. The sensor is encased in a durable ABS plastic case and comes supplied with 2x wall brackets for both horizontal or vertical location (includes fixing screws and wall plugs).
Hobby components notes: This sensor does not have an IP rating. Therefore if used outside it must be protected from water or extreme moisture ingress.
If you plan to use this sensor with an Arduino microcontroller please checkout our exclusive HCAM2315 Arduino library available for download from our support forum (see download section of this post).

This example sketch uses the HCAM2315 library to read the current temperature and humidity
from a AM2315 device. The sketch repeatedly reads the sensor once a second and outputs the
result to the serial UART.
