Note that you must call [`setup()`](#bme280setup) before you can start reading values! Furthermore, there has to be a variable delay between some tens to hundreds of milliseconds between `setup()` and reading measurements. Instead of using a fixed delay you might also poll the sensor until data is delivered e.g. `humi()` not returning `nil` anymore.
