Difference between this project and homebridge-awair

Heya! Apologies if I'm missing anything obvious but how are this project and https://github.com/deanlyoung/homebridge-awair different? The Readmes seem almost identical and I'm having a hard time figuring out what local means here.
Thanks!

Latest Version Broken: ReferenceError: w is not defined

Hi,
The latest local version appears to be broken. I am getting the error below and no data into HomeKit. I've verified the local endpoint is still accessible.

Here is my config:

        "ip": "192.168.123.68",

PM10 / Device Model / Serial

Hello!
Why is there a PM10 value visible on the Air Quality Sensor? Awair does not report this vaue? And it's always 0 :)

My device serial / model / version number is also not picked up from http://x.x.x.x/settings/config/data but i can see the values when browse to the awair webpage

I'am Using the Awair 2nd Edition with frimware 1.0.9

Documentation bug: Accessory should be "AwairLocal"

Hi,

The config.json should have "AwairLocal" as the "Accessory" instead of "Awair", otherwise HomeBridge will complain that the accessory isn't registered by any plugins.

Thanks!

enhancement: Make homebridge report awair as non responsive when appropriate

I just sent my Awair in for servicing (hooray moving parts), and up until I restarted homebridge, the last-reported air data was still being reported as current. After restarting homebridge, the humidity was being reported as 0%, the temp as 32F (probably internally 0 degrees C), CO2 reported as 0 ppm, Air quality as unknown (this seems more or less correct), and the PM10, PM2.5, and VOC as all zero.

If it's easy to get homebridge to report "No response" after some amount of time without a measurement, or after restarting homebridge before a measurement from the Awair has arrived, that would probably be better.

SyntaxError after update to 1.2.7

Hi there,

I just updated from 1.2.1 to 1.2.7 and now get this error on bootup of my hoobs (v.3.2.6 on node 12.16.3) instance:

7/27/2020, 12:06:40 AM Error loading plugin "homebridge-awair-local".7/27/2020, 12:06:40 AM /home/hoobs/.hoobs/node_modules/homebridge-awair-local/index.js:302 .setCharacteristic(Characteristic.PM10Density, "--");

My configuration for Awair looks like this:

Characteristic warning flooding homebridge logs

Thanks for this great plugin!

Just recently started getting a bunch of these alerts:

[4/2/2021, 2:35:13 PM] [homebridge-awair-local] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Current Temperature': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "NaN" (number). See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

Looks like it refers to this: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Characteristic-Warnings#this-plugin-generated-a-warning-from-the-characteristic

Enhancement request

First of all, thanks for publishing this plugin, it seems to work well and exposes the data from my new Awair Element to Homekit. Much appreciated!

A few enhancement requests:

1. Is it possible to expose the CO2 and air quality metrics directly in the Homekit widgets? As currently implemented, you need to click into the widget, then click into the Settings to see the actual readings.

2. It would be great to separate out the air quality data into separate widgets: one for VOC and one for 2.5 ug particulates. (I didn't realize until i enabled the web api that the device reports a 10 ug estimate, not sure how this is done or how valuable it is.)

3. For particulates it would be great to show the actual 2.5 ug/m3 readings rather than the generalized "good" etc values on the widget itself.

4. For CO2 it would be great to show the actual PPM reading on the widget itself

thanks!

Option to Hide Attributes

Would it be possible to add a configuration option to hide specific attributes from a specific device?

For example, if I didn’t want CO2 to show up on one device or Humidity on another...

Thanks for the great plugin!

VOCs can't be displayed in Home app or reported by Siri

The label for VOCs that is shown in the Home app is "Volatile Organic Compound Density". This label is too long, as it only allows for the display of the first two digits of the VOC density value (e.g. "20...") . This is problematic because there's no indication of how many digits are hidden by the ellipses. Further, on small-screen devices like the original iphone SE and 5s, the ellipses start in the middle of the word "density" and so no information is shown. Also, it is generally not possible to get Siri to report the value. Asking "what is the volatile organic chemical density in the living room" will work on occasion, so I know that's the right syntax, but it fails 9 times out of ten, preferring to give me the results of a web search.

Shortening "Volatile Organic Compound Density" to "VOC density" or just "VOC" or "VOC Level" or "V.O.C." so that the label can be displayed along with the value, and so that Siri can recognize a request for and report the value. I just noticed that in the Eve app, this field is labeled VOC Density, so I'm aware it's entirely possible that this is just Apple not testing their code with real data at all, and that VOC Density is a standardized Homekit quantity just like Temperature or Humidity, and you have no ability to change how the Home app displays it or how Siri misidentifies it.
