May 7, 2017 at 2:41 comment added SDsolar I haven't ever had to use the cap even with 20 meter cable runs. (Maybe the cable does that for me.) With that long of a run I get a definite voltage drop so it barely takes any current yet provides accurate values. Never would I put a resistor across any of the pins, even if my cable is only 10cm long. But have you tried it?

Feb 1, 2015 at 13:26 comment added Gerben The 220 resistor is a solution, but you probably want to add a capacitor after it, to smooth the voltage at the DHT. The datasheet already suggest adding a 100nF capacitor across the power of the sensor.

Feb 1, 2015 at 8:32 comment added jfpoilpret Please note that sub 10uA consumption when idle is very ambitious and I wonder how you'll be able to stay under this threshold with such a circuit.
Feb 1, 2015 at 8:27 comment added jfpoilpret This is probably due to a voltage drop when you start powering the DHT. Have you tried adding a decoupling cap between pin 4 and GND? Otherwise a MOSFET triggered by pin 4 and providing the supply to the DHT may be a good solution.
