 I'd try another library.

Have you tried the adafruit examples for the library? https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Py ... ruitDHT.py?

Re: Pi 4 ethernet dropping often

I've experienced such behavior with the RPi3 and RPi4. To solve the issue was to, after the WiFi had connected, plug in the Ethernet cable, wait a few minutes, and unplug the Ethernet cable. For me, after I had completed the plug-in-take-plug-out thing, I've not experienced anymore WiFi disconnects.

Re: Basic Linear Actuator to Churn Water

A micro controller, such as a Arduino Uno or Mega, would be more cost effective than using a RPi.
