There’s a useful PM2.5 sensor present on the Home Assistant integration (looks like this reports the EPA correction value?), but there is currently no AQI sensor in the AirGradient HA integration.
Would it be possible to add an AQI sensor to the HA integration?
Example use case: on an HA dashboard, show a graph comparing the AQI value from an O-1PST (AirGradient integration) vs. the AQI value(s) from one or more external sensors (e.g. EPA integration, WAQI integration, IQAir integration).
Just to understand you correctly, you would like to see the PM2.5 value of the AirGradient monitor converted to USAQI figures directly in HA?
My preference would be for the HA integration to have 2 sensors to cover this – one sensor for PM2.5 (value in μg/m³) and a separate sensor for AQI (US AQI numeral). That way, people can use one sensor or the other, or both at the same time, in HA.
I support this idea. USAQI is better understood by my family and easier for me to understand.
I support this idea as well.
