hmm not yet
i just tried without battery

oh ok. Try with +5v, it will work.

For without battery, refer this:-

NodeMCU Amica model
https://github.com/TrickSumo/water-level-indicator-controller/blob/master/Circuit%20Diagram%20For%20NodeMCU%20ESP8266%20Amica%20Model.JPG

NodeMCU Lolin model
https://github.com/TrickSumo/water-level-indicator-controller/blob/master/Circuit%20Diagram%20For%20NodeMCU%20ESP8266%20LoLin%20Model.jpg

If your NodeMCU do not have VV or Vin (or sensor not working even with those). Then using battery with voltage regulator is best solution.

i want ask one question, should i use a resistor for dht11 sensor?

should i use a resistor for dht11 sensor

If you are using 7805 IC with battery then no need to use resistor.

Else you can use battery and two resistors as voltage divider (or use rheostat).

In any case make sure to not feed digital IC's (including some sensors) more than 5v.

ok, i was search a scematic design and i found it use resistor in data pin. so should i doing this?

You can use it.
