1. ChipCap 2 (CC2D33) instead of DHT12

Code: https://github.com/liutyi/arduino-humidity-sensors-test/tree/v8b

Main Unit

Sensor Board

incl levels converter board

Sensors

Total Sensor cost: ~630$

Known Issues

  1. AHT10 and AHT15 occupy multiplexer (unknown compatibility issues when on same i2c bus with other sensors)
  2. 1-st and 8-th multiplexers addresses occupied by sensors. so multiplexer limits reached.
  3. CJMCU-189 (SHTC1) unstable on 3.3v multiplexers, and also hangs on below zero temperatures (on 5v i2c bus)
  4. CC2D33 got thin 1.27 pins (and need pin replace or soldering for secure connect
