dht-sensors: how to hide humidity ?

---

Hello,

title says it all - i cant figure out, how to only show the temperature value provided by a dht11 (and hide humidity).

currently i’m using:

{
      "id": "Raumtemperatur",
      "name": "Raumtemperatur",
      "class": "DHTSensor",
      "type": 11,
      "pin": 3,
      "interval": 60000
    },

i already tried to get it working with xAttributes, but the only result was my pimatic not being accessible via gui anymore:

{
      "id": "Raumtemperatur",
      "name": "Raumtemperatur",
      "class": "DHTSensor",
      "type": 11,
      "pin": 3,
      "interval": 60000
      "xAttributeOptions": [
        {
          "name": "humidity",
          "displaySparkline": false,
          "hidden": true
        },
    },

thanks in advance for your help.

@larifari normally your xattribute field is correct. But the pimatic-dht-sensor plugin doesn’t support it.

As an workaround you can add an variables device which only shows the temperature of your Dht device.

thanks @Icesory for the quick reply.

The workaround via variables device works like a charm.
My solution for those of us being new to pimatic:

 {
      "id": "temperatureonly-dht11",
      "name": "Raumtemperatur",
      "class": "VariablesDevice",
      "variables": [
        {
          "name": "Raumtemperatur",
          "expression": "$Raumtemperatur.temperature",
          "type": "number",
          "unit": "°C"
        }

@larifari thanks for your detailed explanation for novice users.

I have added a PR - should be released some time soon
