Unfortunately, the fan devices do not give us any raw sensor numbers, and we don't know the proprietary calculations that Dyson uses to turn their raw sensor data into the index value. + +As a result, this integration has removed the old sensor.device_volatile_organic_compounds entities. We've implemented new sensor.device_volatile_organic_compounds_index entities that correctly reflect the data. + +You can delete the old entities, which should now be unavailable, from your Home Assistant instance. #### Experimental no-reconfiguration migration
