That's correct. The BME680 does not measure CO² at all. It just assume the value based on the the other values. That's why it's called CO² equivalent and not CO².
Real CO² sensors are really big because they need to heat the air for measurement. Therefore we diced not to support one.
However you can use I²C to connect the SCD30 anyway. It just don't fit into the case. Feel free to suggest an PR for supporting the sensor on software site.
Thanks for this awesome project!
The BME680 is nice, but does not seem to work very well for CO2 sensing: https://dm1cr.de/co2-sensor-comparison-scd30-mh-z19b-bme680-vz89te-sgp30. More of these reports can be found if you dig deeper. It seems that in order to emasure CO2 properly, an NDIR sensor is the gold standard.
