Weatherstation ESP32

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Hello all,

I made eeb weather station with the bme680 sensor.
I can read it in the web browser and the data is logged on ThingSpeak.
Now I have let the sensor run for a day here on the test bench.
What I noticed is, that the values of temperature,humidity, etc remained constant throughout the day.
The 15 minute interval was logged as normal, only the values were "frozen".
I then hooked up the ESP32 to the computer and read out with serial monitor but saw no strange things.
I do not understand why the values remained constant, but could it be that the ESP32 goes into some kind of sleep mode.

Regards Robert

I will take a SWAG and say the problem is in the software as the parts work under manual control. Posting your code using code tags should get you the help you need.
