BMP280¶

Environment - BMP280 NORMAL

Introduction¶

Specifications:

Temperature (-40C to +85C)
Barometric pressure (300-1100 hPa)

Warning

The BMP280 is easily mistaken for its big brother the BM**E**280. The Environment - BMx280 can also be used to control the BMP280.

Wiring¶

ESP               BMP280
GPIO (4)   <-->   SDI (SDA)
GPIO (5)   <-->   SCK (SCL)

Power
3.3V       <-->   VIN
GND        <-->   GND

Note

If you have change the I2C settings in the hardware setup you need to connect to those instead of GPIO 4 and 5.

Note

Only use 3.3V BMP280 boards. The ESP pins are not 5V tolerant. Depending on the make of the BMP280 board, pull-up resistors on SDA and SDC may be absent. 4k7 types are fine. When more I2C devices are being used, only one set of pull-up resistors is required or even allowed. It may be necessary to add a ceramic 100nF capacitor across the power lines, close to the BMP280 board.

Setup¶

Task settings¶

Device: Name of plugin
Name: Name of the task (example name BMP)
Enable: Should the task be enabled or not

Sensor¶

i2C address: You can use two BMP280 at the same time, choose address here. If you only use one, stay with the default address.
Altitude: Set the level above sea for your unit. This is done in order to get a correct pressure value.

Data acquisition¶

Send to controller 1..3: Check which controller (if any) you want to publish to. All or no controller can be used.
Interval: How often should the task publish its value (5..15 seconds is normal).

Indicators (recommended settings)¶

Indicator	Value Name	Interval	Decimals	Extra information
Temperature	Celsius	10	1
Pressure	hPa	10	0

Rules examples¶

on BMP#hPa do
 if BMP#hPa>999
   Publish,%sysname%/pressure,Is normal
 endif
