BME680 Breakout - Air Quality, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity Sensor

The state-of-the-art BME680 breakout measures temperature, pressure, humidity, and indoor air quality. Its gas resistance readings react to changes in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and can be combined with humidity readings to assess indoor air quality.

Perfect for monitoring ventilation in bedrooms, workshops, or workplaces. Set up on a Pi Zero W to log sensor readings or stream live data to web services like adafruit.io. Also compatible with Breakout Garden for plug-and-play use.
