\"BME688<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using this BME688 AirMeter App for PiCockpit<\/a>, you can read a BME688 <\/a>or BME680 sensor connected to the Raspberry Pi using I2C. We (pi3g e.K.) offer a plug & play BME688 breakout module<\/a>, which you can connect directly to the Raspberry Pi header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app has three different views, allowing you to visualize the data the way you want:<\/p>\n\n\n

Installation and Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, ensure that you have already installed PiCockpit on your Raspberry Pi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power your Raspberry Pi off, and connect the BME688 module. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refer to your vendor’s instructions how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"pi3g-bme688-breakout-board-raspberry-pi\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power your Raspberry Pi back on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not need to install any software besides PiCockpit for this app to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the BME688 AirMeter App, and click on the Setup button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

The BME688 AirMeter app offers different views. The Setup button is located at the top.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enable the BME688 sensor by clicking on the “enable sensor” toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check whether the I2C address is correct. (For the pi3g BME688 breakout board, it is 0x77 by default – this might vary for other vendors). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the sensor can be reached, the message below should update to “Data received: …” with a timestamp of the most recent data packet received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: data packet frequency depends on the settings – if you enable the IAQ calculation, they might be received less frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enable IAQ calculation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bosch ships a software called BSEC 2. We have included it in PiCockpit, for your convenience. This software allows to take the raw values which the sensor measures, and calculate additional values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of them is the IAQ. (Indoor Air Quality<\/strong>) – which will allow you to measure the indoor air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable it, click on the “enable IAQ calculation” toggle button, and click on “I agree” on the Bosch BSEC licence agreement<\/a> dialog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will automatically instruct PiCockpit to also have the IAQ calculated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced view (show all data)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enabling advanced view will show all parameters which the BSEC2 software is capable of calculating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reset all settings<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This button will allow you to reset the settings to factory default settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the “show me” buttons to select the measured value you would like to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the search to focus on just the values you are interested in: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The elements at the bottom and right next to the chart allow you to drill down into particular data areas and value areas which you are interested in. They are great to zoom into a chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that the historical data values will only be preserved in your web browser while the app is open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you navigate away, or close the tab, the data will be lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Gauge view, you will get beautiful gauges to display the current values. Here you can monitor the following values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
