BME680 on ESPHome using Bosch's BSEC library

[trvrnrth]

I've since had time to package this up a bit better so the component is now available on github at https://github.com/trvrnrth/esphome-bsec-bme680

Of most note is that it no longer relies on a patched arduino framework for ESP8266 boards and instead makes use of a re-packaged libalgobsec.a library which makes the entire setup much easier. This was described at https://community.bosch-sensortec.com/t5/MEMS-sensors-forum/BSEC-library-installation-instructions-f... and I have also PRed those changes at https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BSEC-Arduino-library/pull/51 for review.

Hi trvnrth,

I've just realized, that most of your code is writen in python. I'm moving most of my sensors to MicroPython but I'm struggeling with the BME680 (the BSEC C++ code side). Can you provide some pointers on how you integrated the BSEC library into your python code? Or maybe repurpose your code for MicroPython too? I'm sure the community there would highly appreciate it (I'm just a python beginner).

Thanks

Desh

The python you see is for the ESPHome code generation framework. The actual sensor handling is still C++. I'm afraid I've not touched MicroPython so can't really help you out there.

Hi All,

do anyone know what is the libary id for using the BME688? I am trying to get the same thing running with PlatformIO and tryign to use the BSEC 2.0 library. but it does not seem to download it... ( for the 680, this was in the platform.ini suggested in the thread "BSEC Software Library_ID6979")
