Error reading temperature DHT11

[Touheda812]

I used this DHT_Unified_Sensor library. However, keep getting this error message "Error reading temperature DHT11".
// DHT Temperature & Humidity Sensor
// Unified Sensor Library Example
// Written by Tony DiCola for Adafruit Industries
// Released under an MIT license.

// REQUIRES the following Arduino libraries:
// - DHT Sensor Library: https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library
// - Adafruit Unified Sensor Lib: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Sensor

#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <DHT.h>
#include <DHT_U.h>

#define DHTPIN 2 // Digital pin connected to the DHT sensor
// Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 note: use pins 3, 4, 5, 12, 13 or 14 --
// Pin 15 can work but DHT must be disconnected during program upload.

// Uncomment the type of sensor in use:
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
//#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302)
//#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301)

// See guide for details on sensor wiring and usage:

same problem, I thought it was problem in the sensor I tested with 2

I had this issue when trying to power with a 3.3v supply. Switching to a 5v supply resolved this for me.

Is there any solution for this ? I use the same code as here: https://sensorkit.arduino.cc/sensorkit/module/lessons/lesson/08-the-temperature-sensor , but I get just NAN

Can't recreate this issue, so closing. If it's still happening, please post in the forums with photos of your setup:
