Hi, first time poster here...

I'm trying to integrate the values from my new Airthings Wave Plus air quality monitor.

Some background info: On an RPi 3+, I'm using rtl_433 to grab Acurite outdoor sensor values via RF and airthings-mqqt-ha to grab Airthings values via Bluetooth and send MQTT messages which are being caught by the MQTTSubscribe driver. I'm using the noewx-material skin to do the HTML generation.  I used to have a BME280 sensor on the GPIO bus to provide inside temperature, humidity and pressure and have successfully displaced that with the like values from the Airthings.

Now I want to integrate the other three sensor values: CO2, Radon and VOC.

I saw that Weeex has an appropriate co2 member with the right ppm unit/label and when I added the stanza to the MQTTSubcribe section and the neowx-material skin.conf values_order and chart_order strings I get the co2 ppm value on the web page. [MQTTSubscribe didn't like 'units = ppm' but letting it default to float works OK.]

Now I want to do the same for Radon (unit Bq) and VOC (unit ppb).

There aren't obvious specific places to pass through these values so how can I use some of the large number of unused sensor names to put these to values in and configure the neowx-material skin to get them onto the page with the right label and unit?

Thanks
...Dave
