    You can build everything online, in GitHub Pull Request:

    Just enable/add proper define to obk_config.h for your platform.

    I see you've already made a PR, did you succeed with running BMP280 in OpenESP?
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    I did thank you - it would appear that home assistant cannot write sensor data to influxdb if the device_class on a particular device/entity is set to something (in my case it would be humidity, pressure or temperature). It just gets ingored. This was my reason for swapping to OpenESP.
    OpenESP/Openbeken allows you to change the channel types to other things which enables me to write this data to influx however it does mean most of my other sensors using tasmota and other integrations now fail to write as I cannot change this on their end. Very annoying as my influxdb data was useful when viewed in Grafana and went back many years.
