I bought this device:

Back: https://imgur.com/mEgQxZN

I can't read Humidity with this device. <-------- :cry:
I was of the opinion I bought a BME280.

According to the website I should be able to read Temp. Pres. and Humidity (??)

The BME280 is a sensor that enables you to measure relative humidity, barometic pressure and ambient temperature.
The BMP280 on the other hand only measures barometic pressure. :idea:

On the "Back" image you posted, it's the smal metal component in the lower left corner with the 8 pins.

You, however, forgot to post your code on the forum, so it's impossible for us to see what you're actually doing wrong.
In other words: zonder code (en eventueel een schema, indien nodig), kunnen we helemaal niets op dit forum. :idea:

Twice I ordered the BME280 and every time I got the BMP280. I can recognize them but your photos are bad.The BME280 has a hole on the longitudinal axis and the BMP280 has a hole in the corner. The BMP280 measures pressure and temperature only.

That answers my question. :) . Thanks.
I also ordered a BME280, but I got a BMP280 since it has a hole in the corner (as you described)
