A word of advice: double-check you're actually getting a BME280. I accidentally bought a BMP280 which lacks the humidity sensor. -_- So yeah, I have something

A word of advice: double-check you're actually getting a BME280. I accidentally bought a BMP280 which lacks the humidity sensor. -_-
So yeah, I have something similar myself, with a React frontend on the official Raspberry Pi display, a BME680 (never got the IAQ stuff to work though) and InfluxDB + Grafana. No remote/outdoor modules yes, because I'm undecided about the technology.
- ssfivy 6y agoAlso, doublecheck the readings from this sensor. There has been plenty of report about the temperature reading being much higher than the actual temperature (in my case, I got 4C higher than ambient). Some people says it has self-heating problem since if you put active airflow the temperature dropped.
- namero999 6y agoYes, the BME280 is very good at sensing temperature deltas, much less at sensing absolute temperature. A correction factor is most often needed with this device.

- ako 6y agoBuilt a similar thing: raspberry pi + bme680. Code is python + kivy. Allows me to run the frontend with X.org. Screenshot: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBc5uWLDOgc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CBc5uWLDOgc/?utm_source=ig_web_c...
