Hi @Nick_C,

The example included in the Github repository contains code to connect and send data to Losant. You will have to update the code from the example to also read from your DHT sensor, and include these values in the data sent to Losant. For further assistance with this sensor, I would recommend checking out the [Arduino Forums](https://forum.arduino.cc/) and/or [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/arduino).

I am also curious, could you further elaborate on the issue you are facing with “and display them on the dashboard”? Is this an issue that will this likely be solved once you are sending values from the sensor?

There are also some posts around the Forums about DHT that may provide some assistance. You can check them out here:

Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions 😄

Thanks!
