All sensors are set to the +same I2C address 0x40, so an entry with I2C_BOARD_INFO("htu21", 0x40) can +be used in the board setup code. + +This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the +devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices +for details. + +sysfs-Interface +--------------- + +temp1_input - temperature input +humidity1_input - humidity input + +Notes +----- + +The driver uses the default resolution settings of 12 bit for humidity and 14 +bit for temperature, which results in typical measurement times of 11 ms for +humidity and 44 ms for temperature. To keep self heating below 0.1 degree +Celsius, the device should not be active for more than 10% of the time. For +this reason, the driver performs no more than two measurements per second and +reports cached information if polled more frequently. + +Different resolutions, the on-chip heater, using the CRC checksum and reading +the serial number are not supported yet. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
