Sorry, i’m new to this. How much time does it need? And the working script was lost or deleted, because i’m trying to set up this sensor for the last week.
@Jaka_Smode here’s the Adafruit version, change as needed for your setup.

I don’t know, what the adafruit-script does… But this error message you got using your TempTest.py tells you, that your python-script uses a library called pigpio which you obviously didn’t install beforehand.
If this happens (regardless which module python tells you is missing) do a quick search on MODULENAME +python and it’ll show you what to do. In this case, just type in: pip install pigpio and it’ll install the desired module. But beware! - Accessing GPIO normally requires sudo power unless you configure your Pi to do otherwise. I bet, you got your python script somewhere - if the author did the right thing, he did include a “prerequisite” for his script and I guess you just missed installing the required modules…?
