⚙️ Custom Apps and Drivers

@marcaronson408 Marc, I just uploaded version 1.2 with initial support for conversion algorithms. Please try it out and let me know how it goes.

FYI when conversions are applied the averaging period option is disabled because Purple air API doesn't provide that for some of the sensors used the the conversions.

Uploaded 1.2.3 which handles an error caused by devices with missing humidity data

I've uploaded version 1.3 which handles faulty humidity sensors (for those using EPA conversion), and also reduces API usage.

My apologies -- somehow, I didn't see this until today (Dec 31, 2023).

I updated and I see you have made a lot of improvements since the version I had. The ability to get a weighted average across multiple sensors is a very cool feature!

Any chance you could also expose the raw AQI in another attribute? I'd like to show both the raw AQI and the corrected value on my dashboard, as the corrected value is only appropriate if the air quality issues originate from wood smoke...

Thanks!

Marc
