I have used this node previously a few years ago on another Raspberry Pi project and it worked flawlessly. I have just tried installing and I get the following error: "TypeError: Bme680 is not a constructor"
I have done some digging and found the foloowing in the BME680 json file
Does anyone know if there is a newer version of the bme680-sensor package or a BME680 node that works?

I find a lot of specialist nodes offer little added value, so although I have a BME680 I've never tried that contrib node.
Instead my BME680 is attached to an ESP32 running Tasmota. It sends sensor readings over MQTT.
As a bonus I don't risk misconnection to my GPIO pins and killing the Pi.
