         | Are you really deciding to change nappies based on VOC
         | measurement OR a change in humidity?

         | Digikey "tape & reel" pricing:
         | 
         | BME680 @6k: $5.72/each
         | 
         | BME280 @10k: $2.73/each
         | 
         | I've played with BME280 - it seemed quite solid/reliable.

           | In any case, high end is right. These Bosch sensors have

       | There's great Python support for it, too, much better than
       | BME180, its younger sibling.
