20.Sh NAME
21.Nm sht4xtemp
22.Nd Driver for Sensirion SHT40/SHT41/SHT45 sensor chip via I2C bus
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "sht4xtemp* at iic? addr 0x44"
25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Nm
28driver provides measurements from the SHT40/SHT41/SHT45 humidity/temperature
29sensors via the
30.Xr envsys 4
31framework.
32The
33.Nm
34.Ar addr
35argument selects the address at the
36.Xr iic 4
37bus.
38The resolution, heater controls and crc validity can be changed through
39.Xr sysctl 8
40nodes.
41.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
42The following
43.Xr sysctl 3
44variables are provided:
45.Bl -tag -width indent
46.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.resolutions
47Lists the resolutions supported by the driver and chip.
48.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.resolution
49Set the resolution, or number of bits, used for %RH and temperature.
50Use one of the strings listed in
51.Li hw.sht4xtemp.resolutions .
52.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.ignorecrc
53If set, the crc calculation for %RH and temperature will be ignored.
54.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.heateron
55Turn the heater on and off.
56Please note that the heater is turned on right
57before the measurement and runs for a pulse width of time.
58Then the measurement is taken and the heater is turned off.
59There is no way to keep the heater running with this chip.
60.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.heaterstrength
61From 1 to 3, the amount of energy put into the heater.
62The higher the number, the more power used.
63.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.heaterpulses
64Lists the valid heater pulses supported by the driver and chip.
65.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.heaterpulse
66Set the heater pulse length.
67Use one of the strings listed in
68.Li hw.sht4xtemp.heaterpulses .
69.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.debug
70If the driver is compiled with
71.Dv SHT4X_DEBUG ,
72this node will appear and can be used to set the debugging level.
73.It Li hw.sht4xtemp0.readattempts
74To read %RH or temperature the chip requires that the command be sent,
75then a delay must be observed before a read can be done to get the values
76back.
77The delays are documented in the datasheet for the chip.
78The driver will attempt to read back the values readattempts number of
79times.
80The default is 10 which should be more than enough for most purposes.
