Adafruit BME688 Temperature, Humidity, Pressure & Gas Sensor – STEMMA QT (I2C/SPI)

The Adafruit BME688 is a high-performance 4-in-1 environmental sensor based on the Bosch Sensortec BME688 IC. It combines temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) gas sensing into a single compact breakout board, making it ideal for weather stations, indoor air quality monitoring, smart home automation, IoT devices, and environmental data logging. The BME688 also supports advanced AI-based gas analysis, allowing developers to build custom odor and gas detection applications using Bosch's machine learning tools.

Designed for ease of use, the board features both I2C and SPI communication interfaces, making it compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32, and other popular development platforms. Built-in 3.3V voltage regulation and logic level shifting allow safe operation with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. It also includes STEMMA QT connectors (compatible with SparkFun Qwiic) for quick plug-and-play connections without soldering.

Whether you're creating an IoT weather station, monitoring indoor air quality, measuring altitude, or collecting environmental data, the Adafruit BME688 provides accurate and reliable sensing in a compact, easy-to-integrate module.

FAQ

Will this ship from Manila?

Yes — all stock ships from our Quezon City warehouse. Order before 4 PM weekdays for same-day cutoff via J&T or LBC.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Metro Manila usually arrives next-day; provincial 1–3 working days.

Can I get this on a school PO or class order?

Yes — we accept Purchase Orders from accredited schools and universities. Contact us with your PO details and we'll process it.

Is this compatible with Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi?

Most parts work with common maker boards — check the description for specific pinout / voltage notes. If you're unsure, send us a message before ordering.

What's your return policy?

7-day inspection window for DOA units. Email proof of issue and we'll ship a replacement or refund. Used / installed parts are not returnable unless faulty.
