BME280 Temperature+Pressure+Humidity Sensor

The bme280 sensor platform allows you to use your BME280 (datasheetExternal link, Adafruit_) temperature, pressure and humidity sensors with ESPHome. The sensor is used in Forced Mode where measurement is performed and then the sensor returns to sleep mode until next measurement. The I²C or SPI is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

Note: In I²C mode pulling CSB to 3V is recommended, in order to avoid [E][sensor.bme280:155]: Communication with BME280 failed! error. See the Connection diagram chapter in datasheet above.

  • temperature (Optional): The information for the temperature sensor.

    • oversampling (Optional): The oversampling parameter for the temperature sensor. See Oversampling Options.
    • All other options from Sensor.
  • pressure (Optional): The information for the pressure sensor.

    • oversampling (Optional): The oversampling parameter for the pressure sensor. See Oversampling Options.
    • All other options from Sensor.
  • humidity (Optional): The information for the humidity sensor.

    • oversampling (Optional): The oversampling parameter for the humidity sensor. See Oversampling Options.
    • All other options from Sensor.
  • iir_filter (Optional): Set up an Infinite Impulse Response filter to increase accuracy. One of OFF, 2x, 4x, 16x. Defaults to OFF.

  • update_interval (Optional, Time): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to 60s.

I²C Configuration variables:

  • address (Optional, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to 0x77. Another address can be 0x76.

SPI Configuration variables:

  • cs_pin (Optional, Pin Schema): The CS pin of the BME280 sensor.

Oversampling Options Copy link to header

By default, the BME280 sensor measures each value 16 times when requesting a new value. You can, however, configure this amount. Possible oversampling values:

  • NONE (value is skipped)
  • 1x
  • 2x
  • 4x
  • 8x
  • 16x (default)
