Hi @kmetz,
thanks a lot for the great instructions. Everything works beautifully over here.
The only small issue i have is, that bme280isConnected changes to false after the first reading of the BME280 sensor.
I can't seem to solve it... any pointers?

Thanks much in advance!

Ok, with the much appreciated help and feedback of @htor-j I was able to fix this, BME280 has to run in MODE_NORMAL instead of MODE_FORCED, the latter requires to re-set forced mode before each reading (it goes into sleep mode afterwards). Normal mode will update readings internally periodically and is also recommended when using filters (see datasheet).
