From your description it isn't clear if you are not able to get proper data from the BME680 or from BSEC, or if the issue comes from something else in your project or platform setup.

I cannot comment about your platform/project, but I can try to clarify the I²C address behavior of the BME680. In I²C mode, the BME680's slave address can take two values: 0x76 or 0x77. The selection is made in hardware, and is based on the value on the SDO pin of the BME680, which must be tied directly to GND or VDDIO:

• if SDO is tied to GND, the BME680 slave address will be 0x76,
• if SDO is tied to VDDIO, the BME680 slave address will be 0x77.

Since the slave address of the BME680 is defined by your hardware connections, you must typically manually inform your software about the decision made and expected address.

Sorry my explanation was not clear.

I can get data from my BME680 with ESPhome BME680 default script by defining my BME on 0x76. But using the custom script of this thread i can no get any data. I modify 0x77 by 0x76 but nothing is collected and i dont understand why.. so i tired to get some help from here!

Hello,

Just a quick update to let you know that it as not a compilation problem or I2C adresses.

It is actually working with esphome, i just do the config file by myself i was unable to use expample script from this thread.

I just get a lower  relative humidity (33%) than my xiaomi sensor (37.69%) in the same room, but trends are always the same!

Thanks for help!

Hello,

were you able to solve this problem of always getting "Sending state 0.00000" ?

I managed to compile esphome with the BSEC library. However I always get 0 values. Any help is much appriciated. I dont see other issues from the logs.

Hello,

I have to custom the main.cpp  before compiling to get values. Its not a problem with BSEC Library but with ESPHOME.

Cheers,
