Outdoor device has channels

[joostlek]

So the indoor device gives us a flat response. The Airgradient OpenAir on the other hand, returns a JSON object with channels:

{
    "wifi": -52,
    "serialno": "84fce60bec38",
    "channels": {
        "1": {
            "pm01": 3,
            "pm02": 5,
            "pm10": 7,
            "pm003Count": 639,
            "atmp": 14.37,
            "rhum": 72
        }
    },
    "tvocIndex": 0,
    "tvoc_raw": 31217,
    "noxIndex": 0,
    "nox_raw": 17248,
    "boot": 0,
    "ledMode": "co2",
    "firmwareVersion": "3.0.10beta",
    "fwMode": “O-1PPT”
}

If I understood correctly, this is to support the quality control/calibration sensors of older models because they can have multiple channels. But we should not use these values in Home Assistant.

Would it be possible to return the same JSON structure the indoor device does? And if there is any kind of reason the channels should still be included, could we still have the values added to the toplevel?

Example of my proposal:

{
    "wifi": -52,
    "serialno": "84fce612f5b8",
    "channels": {
        "1": {
            "pm01": 3,
            "pm02": 5,
            "pm10": 7,
            "pm003Count": 639,
            "atmp": 14.37,
            "rhum": 72
        }
    },
    "rco2": 778,
    "pm01": 3,
    "pm02": 5,
    "pm10": 7,
    "pm003Count": 639,
    "tvocIndex": 99,
    "tvoc_raw": 31792,
    "noxIndex": 1,
    "nox_raw": 16931,
    "atmp": 14.37,
    "rhum": 72,
    "boot": 28,
    "ledMode": "co2",
    "firmwareVersion": "3.0.10beta",
    "fwMode": “O-1PPT”
}

or

{
    "wifi": -52,
    "serialno": "84fce612f5b8",
    "rco2": 778,
    "pm01": 3,
    "pm02": 5,
    "pm10": 7,
    "pm003Count": 639,
    "tvocIndex": 99,
    "tvoc_raw": 31792,
    "noxIndex": 1,
    "nox_raw": 16931,
    "atmp": 14.37,
    "rhum": 72,
    "boot": 28,
    "ledMode": "co2",
    "firmwareVersion": "3.0.10beta",
    "fwMode": “O-1PPT”
}

Ok, I will check with our fw developer.
