To the right, is a [DHT11](https://amzn.to/2Qs9fcV) sensor, it is a temperature and humidity combined sensor with calibrated digital signal output. It's is a reliable sensor for determining temperature and humidity. There is a newer and more accurate module on the market called DHT22 but we will stick with the DHT11 for this demo

UV sensors like the [GUVA-S12SD](https://amzn.to/3jP4JCA) to the left, are Ultraviolet testers and outdoor ultraviolet detectors that use calibrated light sensing algorithms that can calculate UV Index. This type of sensors don't contain an actual UV sensing element, instead they approximate it based on visible & IR light from the sun
