+// When configured for humidity, the log 'Components should block for at most 20-30ms in loop().' will be generated in
+// verbose mode. This is due to technical specs of the sensor and can not be avoided.
+//
+// According to the datasheet, the component is supposed to respond in more than 75ms. In fact, it can answer almost
+// immediately for temperature. But for humidity, it takes >90ms to get a valid data. From experience, we have best
+// results making successive requests; the current implementation make 3 attemps with a delay of 30ms each time.
