Is it OK to use the BSEC library to calculate the IAQ for multiple BME688 at the same time?

I am using the BSEC library to calculate IAQ for multiple BME688. Is this OK? If not, how can I instantiate one library per BME688? The library does not seem to provide this functionality.

Hi Mag,

Do you mean that sensors are connected to the same host platform, BSEC runs on the same host platform, and multiple sensors output different IAQ?

[Mag]

Correct. There is one Host platform and multiple BME688.

I call bsec_do_steps(...) for each BME688. Everything works, but I am not sure the library is supposed to work this way. Please confirm.

Hi Mag,

After internal chck, in theory, multiple sensor can be used on the same host platform with BSEC algorithm, but the example we refer to is using one sensor and BSEC on one host. Multiple sensors have not been tested for use with BSEC on the same host and possible issues.
