air-Q for Home Assistant (built-in integration)

About

air-Q is a built-in integration that reads air quality data from air-Q devices over the local network. It adds sensors for gases and other readings such as carbon monoxide, ammonia, ethanol, chlorine and dew point, plus a number entity for LED brightness. Home Assistant can discover the device on the network and offer to add it, and setup in the UI asks for the device IP address and password. Options let negative sensor values, which can appear briefly during baseline calibration, be clipped to zero, which is the default. Another option chooses whether to show values averaged by the device, which is also the default, or the noisier raw readings. A diagnostics download is available for attaching to bug reports.
