1 month ago So I went back to look at my devices, as I use the BME280 with the LilyGo board and have the Heltec board in my test setup.
This is the web console from my LilyGo board

After spending some time this AM on this, I can only think that there is something off with the Heltec board and I2C. As the exact same code and BME280 worked on the LilyGo and not on the Heltec. I also tried using different pins for I2C, and had the same result.

I'm facing an issue with a BME280 and Heltec v2 (heltec-rtl_433-fsk development). I'm using this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07KYJNFMD
That sensor is an I2C only version that works both in 3.3v and 5v, as it has a built-in voltage regulator. Mine is connected to 3.3v though.
I tested 3 different sensors (using both 0x76 and 0x77 addresses) with my Heltec v2 board, using the recommended pinout in OMG's documentation: 2 of the aforementioned model and 1 of a similar model which has 6 pins and is a hybrid I2C/SPI version. All of them show the same behavior: Bosch BME280/BMP280 failed: 0x0 and weird readings, preceded by [E][Wire.cpp:513] requestFrom(): i2cRead returned Error 263 error message in the serial console.
I tested all those sensors with an ESP-WROOM-32 board using the exact same wiring, voltage and pinout. For that, I leveraged an I2C Scanner Sketch to make sure of the sensor's address and a BME280 Testing Sketch using both SparkFun (2.0.9) and Adafruit (2.2.4) libraries in Arduino IDE.
Everything worked as expected using the ESP-WROOM-32. However, when trying the exact same sensors with a Heltec v2 running OMG heltec-rtl_433-fsk compiled via Gitpod.io, they don't work.
You can see some console logs illustrating the issue below:
Hope the above information helps! I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what's going on by myself - This is driving me nuts. ;)
Other than that, OMG is working amazingly well in that board, reading a couple of WH51 915Mhz sensors in my yard and reporting back to HASS.
Thanks!
