ΒΜΕ688 to sense/measure alcohol

[jorjepan]

Hi community, can I use BME688 in alcohol sensing/measurement applications (like alco-lock)? Additionally, is there any document describing all gases and odours it can potentially detect?

Thank you,

George

Hi jorjepan,

You could get more information from BME688 product page: https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/products/environmental-sensors/gas-sensors/bme688/

BME688 gas sensor can detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and other gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the part per billion (ppb) range.

Additionally to all features of the BME680, the BME688 has a gas scanner function. In standard configuration, the presence of VSCs is being detected as indicator for e.g. bacteria growth. And the gas scanner can be customized with respect to sensitivity, selectivity, data rate and power consumption as well. The BME AI-Studio tool enables customers to train the BME688 gas scanner on their specific application, like in home appliances, IoT products or Smart Home.
