CO2 - Does Calibration Drift?

Hello, all,

Just received my AirGraident One a couple days back and have it set up with ESPHome on Home Assistant.

I saw a CO2 sensor calibration option, and have been looking into it. It sounds like it calibrates itself every 2 weeks too the lowest CO2 value, but that there’s a way to manual calibrate if you want it outside.

My question: if I take it outside and calibrate it, then disable the automatic calibration, does the calibration drift? (i.e. would I need to re-calibrate it periodically) Or should I just let it do its thing, even though it’ll be indoors all the time?

Thank you
