“GREAT sensor. The code is a bit confusing to me honestly but its a powerful device so that's expected. There are plenty of examples out there that have got me going and getting accurate results. Love these guys, would love to see the next generation (past 688) in terms of accuracy and capabilities with STEMMA if that ever is in the road map! I'll buy a bunch I know that! Especially around the Air Quality Inidcation (AQI) that seems to be very tricky to get right and I have seen many struggle with that. That's probably more on the chip maker than you guys to simplify. I personally would like to see something that maybe replaces the pressure portion with something more useful to me, say fire indication or something I don't know. Honestly I dont care about the pressure, I dont even code it as an output most of the time. But this is just one guy giving his thoughts. Love the product!
Cheers.”
“We required a breakout sensor that was suitable for use with a raspberry pi. After a quick search the BME680 was identified as the correct one.
Order was quick and easy. Product arrived next day without fuss.
We have since ordered again and will continue to do so.”
“Having used the BME280 for a couple of projects, I thought I'd try a 680, noting that I'd coded the BME280 the hard way and not used the Arduino libraries. I gave in and used the AdaFruit libraries for the 680. So easy to integrate with an ESP8266 Node D1 (12F, AZ-Delivery) WiFi module. Air quality is the most interesting with this sensor, although all you measure is sensor resistance based on VoC content (constant heater temperature and duration). I have connected one device to the Arduino IoT Cloud (15 day history subscription) and the graphs from the living room are quite interesting, for me anyway. One take-away (pun) is that meals have a significant effect.”
