#+begin_quote
This configuration will enable the BME680 sensor and send the temperature,
humidity, pressure, and air quality data to Home Assistant via MQTT. You will
need to replace YOUR_MQTT_BROKER_ADDRESS, YOUR_MQTT_USERNAME, and
YOUR_MQTT_PASSWORD with your own MQTT broker address, username, and password.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

** Request to use a display

I'd also like to display the current sensor values on a SSD1306 with a refresh
rate of 30seconds
#+end_quote

Response:

#+begin_quote
To display the current sensor values on a SSD1306 OLED display with a refresh
rate of 30 seconds, you can use the ssd1306 component in ESPHome and set the
update interval for the sensor values to 30 seconds.

Here is an example configuration that will display the temperature, humidity,
pressure, and air quality values from the BME680 sensor on a SSD1306 OLED
display with a refresh rate of 30 seconds:

next to temperature, not below it. Also show the date and time on the display

** Change the display output

#+begin_quote
please align date/time in the bottom right corner. use a slightly larger font
for temperature and humidity
#+end_quote

Response:
#+begin_quote
To align the date and time in the bottom right corner of the OLED display, you
can use the x and y coordinates of the display component to specify the position
of the text on the display. You can also use the font_size option to specify a
larger font size for the temperature and humidity values.
