Help needed with DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor

Hello,
I am trying to get DHT11(temperature and humidity) sensor working with Espruino on ESP32. I get the below output, which as per the documentation means no data is being received.

{"err":true,"checksumError":false,"raw":­"","temp":-1,"rh":-1}

Code

var dht = require("DHT11").connect(D17);

function onInit() {
    setInterval(function () {
        dht.read(function (a) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(a));
        });
    }, 3000);
}

onInit();

Interestingly, with the same wiring DHT11 works fine using "Arduino core for ESP32". Not sure what I am doing wrong in the Espruino.

This is the board that I am using https://wiki.wemos.cc/products:lolin32:l­olin32
