There’s a lot to love in #IoT but this made me smile pic.twitter.com/B3BiEbIgJp

To my my big surprise I received an unexpected package today. Thank you #github

I am no winter lover. But mornings like this morning is not bad. I must at least admit that. A decimeter of snow falls during the night and is added to the snow already on the ground. Light, cold, white, snow. Snow that make that special sound when you walk on it. The world becomes very silent when there is new snow everywhere. You are in the void. The feeling is that the world is a silented music studio. I’m the only one awake. It’s still dark. It’s just nice to be alive.

I give the birds (and the squirrels) some food and move away some snow from the car and the ground. After that I am ready start my day. Coffee. Backups (it’s is Friday). My office. My “work”. I love it all.

With this post I just want to wish everyone following the VSCP developers blog a nice time during xmas and during the new year, despite the bad times we live in. I wish you to have some nice days with your dear ones during the period. Perhaps a good book, an old movie, some of your favorite food can find it’s way to you. I know they all will here. There is still a lot to be thankful for.

Have fun and take care everyone.

As the first in a series of sensor handling modules for Python targeting Raspberry Pi and the likes, the VSCP Python Sensors BME680 initial release 1.0.0 is now available. The script publish VSCP events with data from a BME680 sensor to a MQTT broker of your choice for further processing in higher level tools like node-red. There will be an howto published here shortly on this subject.

The script is available on PyPi

Docs hare here

• Updated to use latest VSCP code
• Added Ex versions for conversion methods that was missing them
• Removed variable and table methods

Full info about the release is here.

Added methods
