+# DHT Sensor Exporter
+
+Export temperature and humidity readings to [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/).
+
+## Usage
+
+Check the latest release on the [release](https://github.com/vernak2539/dht_sensor_exporter/releases) page to get the link
+for the architecture you're wanting (limited selection now).
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p /opt/dht_sensor_exporter
+
+cd /opt/dht_sensor_exporter
+
+sudo wget https://github.com/vernak2539/dht_sensor_exporter/releases/download/v0.15.0/dht_sensor_exporter-v0.15.0-linux-armv7
+
+sudo mv dht_sensor_exporter-v0.15.0-linux-armv7 dht_sensor_exporter
+
+sudo chmod +x ./dht_sensor_exporter
+```
+
+I would suggest setting up a systemd service and running it under it's own user
+
+**Create User**
+
+```sh
+sudo useradd -M dht_sensor_exporter
+sudo chown -R dht_sensor_exporter:root /opt/dht_sensor_exporter
+```
+
+**Setup systemd**
+
+```sh
+sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/dht_sensor_exporter.service
+```
+
+Insert following information into service file:
+
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=DHT Sensor Exporter
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+User=dht_sensor_exporter
+Type=simple
+ExecStart=/opt/dht_sensor_exporter/dht_sensor_exporter
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+Run following commands:
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl start dht_sensor_exporter
+```
