This video summarizes how to integrate non-Adafruit BME280 and BMP280 sensors in your circuit using Adafruit’s sensor library for Arduino in a way that won’t realize the error messages common to these setups (e.g. “Could not find a valid sensor – check wiring, address, sensor id”). 

I’ll post the code referenced in this video shortly once I add appropriate attributes recognizing Adafruit for the original code from which my own was derived. Stay tuned.
