Package Exports

homebridge-bme680
homebridge-bme680/sensor.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (homebridge-bme680) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

homebridge-bme680

Bosch BME680 temperature/humidity/VOC/barometric pressure sensor service plugin for Homebridge.

Display of temperature and humidity from a BME680 connected to a RaspberryPI.

Uses bme680-sensor

Installation

Install Homebridge using npm install -g homebridge
Install this plugin npm install -g homebridge-bme680
Update your configuration file - see below for an example

Connect the BME680 chip to the I2C bus

Enable I2C on the RaspberryPI by going to the RaspberryPI's RaspberryPi Configuration page and checking the Enable I2C checkbox.

Configuration

accessory: "BME680"
name: descriptive name
name_temperature (optional): descriptive name for the temperature sensor
name_humidity (optional): descriptive name for the humidity sensor
refresh: Optional, time interval for refreshing data in seconds, defaults to 60 seconds.
options: options for bme680-sensor

If you get an I/O error, make sure the I2C address is correct (usually 0x76 or 0x77 depending on a jumper).

Example configuration:

    "accessories": [
        {
            "accessory": "BME680",
            "name": "Sensor",
            "name_temperature": "Temperature",
            "name_humidity": "Humidity",
            "options": {
              "i2cBusNo": 1,
              "i2cAddress": "0x76"
            }
        }
    ]

This plugin creates two services: TemperatureSensor and HumiditySensor.

Future plans

Add support for pressure sensor (this is already somewhat supported, but you can't see it in the Home app). Will try to get the Home+ 5 app which supposedly supports both VOC and Pressure sensor displays
Add support for VOC sensor
