:::warning GPIO access is fundamentally dangerous because invalid options can physically damage or destroy your hardware. Ensure that you fully understand the schematic for your particular device before trying this as we do not offer a warranty. Use at your own risk. :::
:::note This plugin requires attaching a peripheral accessory to your device. It will not work without one. :::
Overview
The Environment Measurement Plugin will allow nodes to send a specific message with information from connected environmental sensors. Currently supported sensors are BME280, BME680, DHT11, DHT12, DHT21, DHT22 and Dallas 1-wire DS18B20.
:::tip Once plugin settings are changed, a reset is required for them to take effect. :::

environmental_measurement_plugin_display_farenheit
The sensor is always read in Celsius, but the user can opt to view the temperature display in Fahrenheit using this setting.

environmental_measurement_plugin_read_error_count_threshold
Sometimes sensor reads can fail. If this happens, we will retry a configurable number of attempts. Each attempt will be delayed by the minimum required refresh rate for that sensor

environmental_measurement_plugin_recovery_interval
Sometimes we can end up with more than read_error_count_threshold failures. In this case, we will stop trying to read from the sensor for a while. Wait this long until trying to read from the sensor again.

Specify the preferred GPIO Pin for sensor readings. May not be needed if using I2C.

Hardware
The sensors can be wired differently, here's one example for sensor DS18B20.
Known Problems
- No default configuration values are currently set, so this must be done when enabling the plugin.
