DHT-22 Serial Number
Is there any means to programmatically retrieve the serial number of the DHT22 sensor? I am using two sensors attached to a raspberry pi, and I need to be differentiate the two readings.

Acording to the technical info Although it uses a single-wire to send data it is not Dallas One Wire compatible! If you want multiple sensors, each one must have its own data pin More info on connecting is herehttps://learn.adafruit.com/dht-humidity ... g/overview

Re: DHT-22 Serial Number
@franklin97355: Thank you for that information. I had already figured that part out prior to posting! :) I have each sensor on a different GPIO data pin. What I need is to know if I can determine the sensor serial number programmatically. I will be setting up several identical RPis with three of these sensors on each one. They are reporting the data to a remote database which presents the data via a web service running on the server. If I can retrieve the serial number programmatically, it will make differentiating the data much easier. Otherwise, I will have to put a unique number on them in some other manner in my scripts. Not necessarily a big deal, but will be a much more manual process than I was hoping for.
So, is there a way to get the sensor serial number through programming/scripting?
