when I start the i2c routine, every button is non responsive. the chip is getting power, as the led lights up.
I've inserted the last system check i did. may be of use.

That page is unresponsive because you haven't actioned the message at the bottom of the page. It requires you to grant permission.
This borne out by the results of your system check:
Checking I2C sensors... | I2C enabled | openplotter-i2c-read not running
↳The access request must be aproved with read/write permission in Signal K administrator.
Follow my steps to address that.
What I would say is be absolutely sure which sensors you have, are they BME280 or BMP280? If you try to set it up and pick the wrong one it won't work. Many sellers send out BMP280 when the buyer actually wants a BME280, they look so similar. Often the boards carry both E and P markings.
Have a look at yours, there is a small metal can on the PCB with a small hole in; is the can roughly square or is it clearly a non-square rectangle? Another clue but one which is a little less reliable is if the i2cdetect command shows an address of 0x77 in which case it is probably a BME280. BMP280s are normally 0x76. The shape of the can is the truer test.
I've done a test today with a BME280 and can let you have the results of that if you need it. It is almost identical to that for the BMP. If it is a BME then under Supported sensors you'd pick BME280 of course and you'd have three lines in the I2C screen, the additional one being for relative humidity.
