AccuWeather support for Indices API / Daily Index Categories and Level Values

Integration name

AccuWeather

Describe the enhancement

The AccuWeather API has a section to report indices which supports over 50 indices, such as conditions for gardening, running, dog walking or health-related indices like dust & dander, etc. Currently, it seems at least the Pollen group (30) that contains the various pollen indices is exposed.

Exposing more groups would be a great addition to the AccuWeather integration.
Perhaps the configuration of the integration could present a list of groups to choose from? Free APIs are limited to 50 calls per day so perhaps a refresh interval may be required per group.

Use cases

• Dust & Dander is very important to my family and this would allow automating regulation of air exchange and help plan outings. This is part of group 10, "Health API"
• The soil moisture forecast would allow watering automation of plants and crops. This is part of group 4, "Gardening API"

🏷️ I've automatically added the integration: accuweather label to help categorize this feature request.

AccuWeather's free tier allows 50 requests per day. For current condition integration, 36 requests are used, and for weather forecasts, 4. The remaining 10 requests are needed for Home Assistant restarts.

It's practically impossible to implement new functionalities that require additional requests.
