Great multisensor from Pimoroni - I am using this with a PICO (Arduino IDE) this is working well. Use the new BOSCH library for the best results! https://github.com/BoschSensortec/Bosch-BSEC2-Library

The github samples from the product pages are of great help. Quick and elegant programming work done. By the way, is there any convenient way to know which one of the sensors (BME280, BMP280, BME680 and BME688) sharing the same I2C address is connected to PICO or its equivalent controller? So that I don't have to rewrite micropython program whenever I change the sensor.

temperature, pressure and humidity great. Still not sure I understand the gas sensor readings. Yes there is a technical data spec but I need a smarter way to interpret and display the data. It does work though, opening a bottle of nail varnish remover it immediately showed the air quality rating plummeting.

The sample code provided by Pimoroni on their official Github is very helpful. An important feature included on this breakout is the Stemma QT / Qwiic connector. This makes the sensor easily compatible with Pimoroni's plug-and-play Breakout Garden line, Adafruit's Stemma QT line, and Sparkfun's Qwiic line. This makes a big difference when prototyping due to being able to quickly mix and match different sensors with different circuits. I hope that Pimoroni continues to add this connector to all their future breakouts.

Works great and was shipped out to us immediately. Unfortunately getting it to mainland Europe took about a month due to the Brexit mess at the time, but well worth it to get something that's reliable outdoors. The data has been very useful for me in avoiding high local levels of (primarily) ozone, and seeing the best times to let some fresh air into the house.
