Gravity: I2C BME680 Environmental Sensor (VOC, Temperature, Humidity, Barometer)

The DFRobot Gravity BME680 Environmental Sensor is a top - notch low - power device based on the BOSCH BME680 sensor. It's a 4 - in - 1 MEMS environmental sensor that combines a VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and barometer. With this sensor, you can monitor up to 4 environmental parameters at once. It's specifically designed for air quality monitoring. Thanks to MEMS technology, it features a compact size and low power consumption, making it suitable for a wide range of applications like environmental monitoring, home automation, IoT wearables, and GPS enhancement. The sensor comes with a Gravity I2C connector, offering plug - and - play convenience for easy connection. With an onboard voltage regulator IC and level translator IC, it has excellent compatibility and can be directly connected to both 3.3V and 5V systems. There's also a SPI connector for future expansion. In today's world, air pollution is a growing concern, and toxic chemical odors from new furniture are common. This sensor can help you create an air quality monitor, taking good care of your health. Note: The IAQ (In - Door - Quality) calculation function is only supported on the FireBeetle ESP8266 Microcontroller. Features include being a MEMS sensor with small size, low power consumption, and high reliability; wide voltage input compatible with 3.3V and 5V controllers; highly integrated environmental parameter monitoring; a Gravity I2C connector with a reserved SPI connector for expansion; and easy installation. Applications cover indoor air quality monitoring, weather stations, smart homes, IoT, and wearables. Specifications include an input voltage of 3.3V - 5.0V, an operating current of 5mA (25mA in VOC), a Gravity I2C wiring connector, a reserved SPI connector, a temperature measurement range of - 40℃ - + 85℃, a temperature measurement precision of ± 1.0℃ (0 - 65℃), a humidity measurement range of 0 - 100%r.H., a humidity measurement precision of ± 3%r.H. (20 - 80% r.H., 25℃), an atmospheric pressure measurement range of 300 - 1100hPa, an atmospheric pressure measurement precision of ± 0.6hPa (300 - 1100hPa, 0 - 65℃), an IAQ range of 0 - 500 (the larger the worse), and a module size of 30 × 22(mm) / 1.18 x 0.87(inches).

Using the DFRobot Gravity BME680 Environmental Sensor is a breeze. First, connect it to your system. Thanks to the Gravity I2C connector, it's plug - and - play. You can directly connect it to either a 3.3V or 5V system because of its great compatibility. Once connected, it will start monitoring environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and VOC. To get the most out of it, make sure it's placed in an area where you want to monitor the air quality. When it comes to the IAQ calculation function, remember that it only works with the FireBeetle ESP8266 Microcontroller. For maintenance, keep the sensor in a clean and dry environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and high - humidity conditions for a long time. If you want to expand its functionality, you can use the reserved SPI connector. And that's it! This sensor is here to help you keep an eye on your environment and take care of your health.
