+DHT: Aosong DHT Digital-output Humidity and Temperature Sensor
+##############################################################
+
+Description
+***********
+
+This sample application periodically (0.5 Hz) measures the ambient
+temperature and humidity. The result is written to the console.
+
+Wiring
+*******
+
+This sample uses an external breakout for the sensor.  A devicetree
+overlay must be provided to identify the sensor variant and the GPIO
+used to control the sensor.
+
+Building and Running
+********************
+
+After providing a devicetree overlay that specifies the sensor location,
+build this sample app using:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/dht
+   :board: nrf52_pca10040
+   :goals: build flash
+
+Sample Output
