Building a Flow for the BME680 sensors to Influxdb, I was told to use BME680 then set message.payload and send to Influx DB. However what do I use in the message to send the correct sensor? payload.temperature_C works for the temperature, but the bme680 has other sensors that I have no idea what t…

Hi Tim,
Welcome to the Forum.
You haven't give us much to go on.
For example, what is the BME680 connected to?
The pins on a Raspberry Pi or ESP32 microcontroller, etc.. ?

What language are you using to "talk" to the BME680?
A Node-RED node or Micro-Python or Arduino, etc.. ?

You might want to read this thread as it explains what a number of users do which is to use a cheap WiFi microcontroller (e.g. ESP32-C3-Super-Mini) to act as a slave to the Raspberry Pi.
