[Feature] Add BME680 Sensor #266

Closed clumsy-stefan closed 1 year ago

clumsy-stefan commented 1 year ago

Would be great to also have the successor of the BME280 included. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the BME280 plugin.

There is a plugin for it. See the extensive docs for it: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Plugin/P106.html#p106-page Only we can't use the closed source lib from Bosch to increase accuracy.

Yes, there's a plugin for ESPEasy but not for RPIEasy.... or do I miss something?

Sorry, totally missed the different repo in the URL ;)

Yep there is a bme680 package on PyPI so RPIEasy implemantation wont be complicated. https://pypi.org/project/bme680/

I'm happy to support and test!

Great!! I'm currently away, but I'll try to test next weekend! Thanks a lot!

clumsy-stefan commented 1 year ago

Sorry for the late feedback, but finally I got it running (physically) on my RPI... Seemed some voltage issues with the SDA line... Works smoothly!! Thanks again for your work!! Really appreciated!!

Actually, I do have an issue with the GAS reading. As per specification it should generate a Index Air Quality (IAQ) reading, which ranges from 0 to 500. The readings I get are all above 50'000 and they increase steadily the shorter the update interval is. So if I click on "run" a number of times the values quickly increase way over 200'000. It seems to be dependant on the update-frequency though. Not sure if this is a different reading or an issue in the module. I'll try to investigate, but my python knowledge is still limited...

I included the calculation as per example in the library but obviously with constants for gas_baseline and hum_baseline which seem to work more or less ok... however the issue, that the value seems to increase the more often it's read still persists obviously...
