BME280 temp/humidity/pressure sensor

[Zbigniew Ko]

@yoshida Thank you very much.
As soon as I find time I will check it out.

Yes checked, sketch works.
Thanks yoshida.
Please note that the library BME_MOD-1022.h consists of two parts: file-h, and file cpp.

[gohan]

I am using the one from adafruit : what's the difference with this other library?

[alexsh1]

@gohan I have been using both libraries with a chinese module I bought from Aliexpress. I did not notice any differences apart from size and maybe a module address, which you can change in either library.

I used the last sketch posed by Yoshida and for some reason whenever the temp and humidity goes through a stretch where there isn't any change, it's as if the node goes into a deep sleep and doesn't come out of it until I hit the reset on a pro mini.

I have it plunged in and not on batteries, so no need for any deep sleep. Is there anything I can change in the sketch? I'm still fairly new at this, although I'm having a blast.

Thanks,

[yoshida]

@bluezr1 Interesting... :) I used it with a pro mini as well, and my problem was that it ate up the batteries in 2 weeks... :D So I would need more deep sleep for the same sketch :D

But for that 2 weeks, it was working well. Temp/Hum/Baro updated every minute.

@yoshida did you do the modifications (remove led and regulator) recommended at https://www.mysensors.org/build/battery ?

My storage room sensor (https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7227/esp8266-wifi-gateway-with-rssi-for-rfm69-and-wifi ) uses the bme280. Not sure if that sketch is any help, but you are welcome to use it. It is much much simpler than the sketch posted above though.

[yoshida]

@mfalkvidd good question, yes I have removed the two leds I found, but I am too lame to remove the voltage regulator :( I have read here that the most consuming part is the LED(s)

@scalpel - works great! Thank you!!
Downloaded the library from the link in your sketch and up and running i no time.
Here is my sketch, with some modifications:

• Lightsensor A0
• No sleep (might want to enable repeater function later)
• Sends every 5 minute regardless of prevoius value (I use Domoticz and want to avoid red nodes and combined nodes).
• Fixed node it

// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
//#define MY_DEBUG 

// Enable and select radio type attached

//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

//Fixed ID/Parent?

Hi...i am a new user here. I built a RFM69 gateway and a node.I decided to place the RFM69 node in a basement storage room. The room has been flooded a few times historically, so being able to monitor humidity in the room seems like a good idea.The room has thick brick walls, which the RFM69-433MHz radio is much more capable to handle than the nrf24. Still, I wanted to keep an eye on the signal strength. Because of this, I added code to the gateway to report RSSI from the node.
