This is NOT my code; was posted on Project Hub. I tried to use the code (humidity controller) but it returns an error on line 270:
else if (DHT.humidity >= setpoint + 3 and syson == true) { //if humidity is 3% above setpoint
Error: expected primary-expression before '.' token
The OP is not responding to comments and I'm no expert. Would appreciate if someone could help debug the code; Thanks!
//HUMIDITY CONTROLLER 1.1
//written for NANO
//controls and displays relative humidity
//sesnor used is DHT11
//uses active-low relay module to control live lines for 2 standard electrical outlets
//uses i2c lcd to display humidity and humidity setting
//turns display off during inactivity
//setting is adjustable from 10%-90% using 2 buttons
//backlight of LCD is controlled by pin 4, connected to top LED jumper pin on i2c backpack
//serial communications to monitor to ensure all code is working.
//added: "system off" function - allows both outlets to be turned off
