Raspberry Pi HTS221 Relative Humidity and Temperature Sensor Java Tutorial
Intro: Raspberry Pi HTS221 Relative Humidity and Temperature Sensor Java Tutorial
HTS221 is an ultra compact capacitive digital sensor for relative humidity and temperature. It includes a sensing element and a mixed signal application specific integrated circuit(ASIC) to provide the measurement information through digital serial interfaces. Integrated with so many features this is one of the most appropriate sensors for critical humidity and temperature measurements. Here is the demonstration with a java code using Raspberry Pi.
STEP 1: What You Need..!!
STEP 2: Connections:
Take a I2C shield for raspberry pi and gently push it over the gpio pins of raspberry pi.
Then connect the one end of I2C cable to HTS221 sensor and the other end to the I2C shield.
Also connect the Ethernet cable to the pi or you can use a WiFi module.
Connections are shown in the picture above.
STEP 3: Code:
The python code for HTS221 can be downloaded from our github repository-Dcube Store
Here is the link for the same :

We have used pi4j library for java code, the steps to install pi4j on raspberry pi is described here:
You can also copy the code from here, it is given as follows:
// Distributed with a free-will license.
// Use it any way you want, profit or free, provided it fits in the licenses of its associated works.
// HTS221
// This code is designed to work with the HTS221_I2CS I2C Mini Module.

int temp = ((data[3] & 0xFF) * 256) + (data[2] & 0xFF);
if(temp > 32767)
{

}
double humidity = ((1.0 * H1) - (1.0 * H0)) * (1.0 * hum - 1.0 * H2) / (1.0 * H3 - 1.0 * H2) + (1.0 * H0);
double cTemp = ((T1 - T0) / 8.0) * (temp - T2) / (T3 - T2) + (T0 / 8.0);
double fTemp = (cTemp * 1.8 ) + 32;
// Output data to screen
System.out.printf("Relative Humidity : %.2f %% RH %n", humidity);
System.out.printf("Temperature in Celsius : %.2f C %n", cTemp);
System.out.printf("Temperature in Fahrenheit : %.2f F %n", fTemp);
