State file

[nkatanaa]

I looked into the code and couldn't find the path for the state file to be stored.

It seems that as data was never saved to the state file the IAQ accuracy measurement will reset to '1' for more than 24 hours (approximately) until it reaches an IAQ accuracy of '3' when the program is terminated and re-runs.

Also, as I may need the state file location, I want to move the state file to a different Raspberry Pi.

Thanks - we're going to look into supporting state files in the future - right now our work is focused on the new AI parts

In the meantime, if you wish you can also contribute code :-)

Sorry, C++ is not my area of expert. Just Python and PHP.

Just for my own curiosity, does your AI application leverage the IAQ value or do you rely on some combination of the remaining measurements?

We do not leverage the IAQ value - we use the other BSEC capabilities.

Here, there is a demo of the capabilities: https://github.com/pi3g/MagicShow/tree/main/MagicShow

(note I've asked Nathan to rename the repo)

Here is also a video showing the capabilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm7lWAg-W3M

We are currently working on integrating the AI functionality as an App into PiCockpit:

Sweet! Thank you for sharing the links to that work. You've helped me think about those BME68x sensors in a new way.

My pleasure. Note that the BME688 is the only one with these AI features - the BME680 does not support detecting smells that way.
