Added note about decimal accuracy of other sensors
Any sensors other than the DHT11 has at least one digit of accuracy. The default is 0, so this accuracy is lost and it's not obvious that the default masks the possibly higher resolution.

If you're seeing lots of invalid temperature/humidity warnings in the logs, try manually setting the
|

DHT model with the ``model:`` configuration variable. Other problems could be wrong pull-up resistor values
|
||||
on the DATA pin or too long cables.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, the default ``accuracy_decimals`` value of the humidity levels is set to 0, as the DHT11 for which this was originally written does not have a higher resolution. All other DHT sensors have a higher resolution, and thus should be configured with ``accuracy_decimals: 1``.
