    Reading IAQ value with BME680 Library integration

    Reading IAQ value with BME680 Library integration

    Hi,

    I am trying to integrate ESP32-S3 with BME680 using I2C. 

    Currently I am observing changes in Humidity, Temperatures but IAQ value is not changing. We tring blowing air near the sensor.

    Is there a way can i verify BME680 sensor library without sensor.

    Please let me know how shall validate the IAQ values i am reading from the sensor. 

    For reference i have attached screenshot of sensor values read.

    Hi Arvind,

    Could we know which example code you run?

    i have taken the example from The BSEC Software | Bosch Sensortec (bosch-sensortec.com).

    bsec_1-4-9-2_generic_release library was used & bsec_iot_example.c example i have taken.

    Hi Arvind,

    How long has your sensor been running?

    In the first 30 minutes, the change of resistance value is not obvious.
    The IAQ value obtained within 8 hours is not credible, and it can be obtained after more than 8 hours
    After 7 days, based on similar baselines, the output value of different sensors in the same environment should be within the scope of the specification, ± 15+± 15%.

    Hi BTSRobin,

    Thanks for information. While i am testing with BME680 sensor, I am observing that run_in_status is becoming 1 only after 4 minutes & after that only i am able to get variation in IAQ & other gas values. Is this an expected behaviour?

    Also currently i am not focussing on temperature values read from the sensor. Is there a wait time before reading temperature value from the BME680?
