Reading CO2 value

Device address used in the following examples is 240 (F0hex).

The values returned by the device differ depending on the ambient conditions and/or device settings. Your device might not return exactly same values.

The response to a write function informs that the function was correctly received by the device. It does not guarantee that the written value was accepted by the device (for example, in case of out-of-range values).

To verify that the value was really accepted by the device, read the register value after writing.
