The `waqi` sensor platform will query [World Air Quality Index](https://aqicn.org/city/beijing/) service to check AQI value for a specific set of locations. The resulting indexes will be added to the Home Assistant as sensor outputs.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
This sensor requires an API token. Please obtain one at [AQICN API token](https://aqicn.org/data-platform/token/#/).
|
|
|
|
The locations field is a search for a location. E.g., "brisbane" or "Brisban" would find Brisbane, Australia and all associated stations in the area.
|
|
|
|
The format for station fields is exactly from the website, e.g., you would provide the location string "[South Brisbane, Australia](http://aqicn.org/city/australia/queensland/south-brisbane/)" for the linked location.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: waqi
|
|
token: AQICN_API_TOKEN
|
|
locations:
|
|

|
|
```

The value reported is an overall AQ index for the location. The values of the index can be interpreted as following:
|
|
|
|
AQI | Status | Description
|
|
------- | :----------------: | ----------
|
|
0 - 50 | **Good** | Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk
|
|
51 - 100 | **Moderate** | Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution
|
|
101 - 150 | **Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups** | Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected
|
|
151 - 200 | **Unhealthy** | Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects
|
|
201 - 300 | **Very unhealthy** | Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected
|
|
301+ | **Hazardous** | Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects
