Dht11 in home assistant (lemmynsfw.com)

I have a home assistant running on a pi 3b+.

I want to add Dht11 sensor to it but do not have ESP devices.

Can I directly plug the sensor on pi gpio and read data from there or I have an arduino which would take data from Dht11, put that in serial which would be sent to pi via USB. Then how to integrate that data into homeasssistant ?

Is dht11 supported in the binary sensor? I installed the hacs and the addon but did not connect it yet.

It's not a binary sensor, but it is supported to report temperature and humidity, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking.

Here's the actual HACS add-on: https://github.com/richardzone/homeassistant-dht

The one linked before looks to just be a GPIO one, not a DHT one.
