I can't read Humidity with this device. <--------
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.

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.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.

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)
