The SI70xx is a humidity and temperature sensor controlled via I2C.
- ± 3% RH (max)
- 0–80% RH
- High Accuracy Temperature Sensor ±0.4 °C
- –10 to 85 °C
- 0 to 100% RH operating range
- Up to –40 to +125 °C operating range
- Wide operating voltage (1.9 to 3.6 V)
- Low Power Consumption
- 150 µA active current
- 60 nA standby current
Purchasing
The Si7021 is available on a breakout board from the the following suppliers:
Code Example
Si70xx sensor;
public MeadowApp()
{
Console.WriteLine("Initializing...");
sensor = new Si70xx(Device.CreateI2cBus());
var consumer = Si70xx.CreateObserver(
handler: result =>
{
Console.WriteLine($"Observer: Temp changed by threshold; new temp: {result.New.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C, old: {result.Old?.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C");
},
filter: result =>
{
//c# 8 pattern match syntax. checks for !null and assigns var.
if (result.Old?.Temperature is { } oldTemp &&
result.Old?.Humidity is { } oldHumidity &&
result.New.Temperature is { } newTemp &&
result.New.Humidity is { } newHumidity)
{
return ((newTemp - oldTemp).Abs().Celsius > 0.5 &&
(newHumidity - oldHumidity).Percent > 0.05);
}
return false;
}
);
sensor.Subscribe(consumer);
sensor.Updated += (sender, result) =>
{
Console.WriteLine($" Temperature: {result.New.Temperature?.Celsius:F1}C");
Console.WriteLine($" Relative Humidity: {result.New.Humidity:F1}%");
};
ReadConditions().Wait();
sensor.StartUpdating(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
}
async Task ReadConditions()
{
var result = await sensor.Read();
Console.WriteLine("Initial Readings:");
Console.WriteLine($" Temperature: {result.Temperature?.Celsius:F1}C");
Console.WriteLine($" Relative Humidity: {result.Humidity:F1}%");
}

Wiring Example
To wire a Si7021 to your Meadow board, connect the following:
| Si7021 | Meadow Pin |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| SCL | D08 (SCL) |
| SDA | D07 (SDA) |
| VCC | 3V3 |
It should look like the following diagram:
