BME68x_bsec2 component in HA Voice PE

ESPHome
1

Hello,

I have a gove bme680 sensor that I am trying to connect to a grove port of a home assistant preview edition via this documentation.

I have managed to get it working using this configuration:

packages:
  Nabu Casa.Home Assistant Voice PE: github://esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/home-assistant-voice.yaml
  grove-i2c: github://esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/modules/grove-i2c.yaml

sensor:
  - platform: bme680
    i2c_id: grove_i2c
    temperature:
      name: "Bedroom Temperature"
    pressure:
      name: "Bedroom Air Pressure"
    humidity:
      name: "Bedroom Humidity"
    gas_resistance:
      name: "Bedroom Gas Resistance"
    update_interval: 60s

I thought I’d like to use the bme68x_bsec2_i2c component instead as it provides additional sensors.

I’ve tried various configurations without success as I encounter errors around the i2c_id: grove_i2c line. Here is one version:

bme68x_bsec2_i2c:
  address: 0x76
  model: bme680
  operating_age: 28d
  sample_rate: LP
  supply_voltage: 3.3V

sensor:
  - platform: bme68x_bsec2
    i2c_id: grove_i2c
    temperature:
      name: "Bedroom Temperature"
    pressure:
      name: "Bedroom Air Pressure"
    humidity:
      name: "Bedroom Humidity"
    iaq:
      name: "Bedroom IAQ"
      id: iaq
    co2_equivalent:
      name: "Bedroom CO2 Equivalent"
    breath_voc_equivalent:
      name: "Bedroom Breath VOC Equivalent"

I am not sure where the i2c_id: grove_i2c line should go.

If I place it in the bme68x_bsec2_i2c: block I get an error This feature is only available with frameworks ['arduino'].

If I place it in the sensor block I get this error [i2c_id] is an invalid option for [sensor.bme68x_bsec2]. Please check the indentation.

Can I use the the bme68x_bsec2 component with the HA Voice PE? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

TIA.

That would be the right place, but if you have only one I2C-bus you don’t need that line at all.
Anyway, afaik bsec2 is not supported yet on IDF, but might be on Esphome 2025.6.0

Ok, thanks for the heads up, achieved much of what I wanted using the original BME680 component with the lambda functions outlined on that page.

Thanks again for responding.
