Temperature is measured in degrees celsius, relative +humidity is expressed as a percentage. Driver can be used as well for SHTW1 +chip, which has the same electrical interface. + +The device communicates with the I2C protocol. All sensors are set to I2C +address 0x70. See Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for methods to +instantiate the device. + +There are two options configurable by means of shtc1_platform_data: +1. blocking (pull the I2C clock line down while performing the measurement) or + non-blocking mode. Blocking mode will guarantee the fastest result but + the I2C bus will be busy during that time. By default, non-blocking mode + is used. Make sure clock-stretching works properly on your device if you + want to use blocking mode. +2. high or low accuracy. High accuracy is used by default and using it is + strongly recommended. + +sysfs-Interface +--------------- + +temp1_input - temperature input +humidity1_input - humidity input |
