AQI reported as text

Hi, I have a Levoit air purifier connected in HA with VeSync integration (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/vesync). The card is working fine, but the AQI file is blank; in VeSync the AQI is reported as a text string (bad, fine, excellent), not a number, inside the attribute "air_quality".
This code works fine and I can see the AQI in the stats:

stats:

  • attribute: air_quality
    subtitle: Qualita

Although this does not work:

aqi:

  • attribute: air_quality

Any idea how this can be fixed? Is the AQI field expecting a number instead of a string?

Thanks!

I also have a Levoit (400S), but mine returns a number. Just curious which model you have?

I get the following from the air filter

air_quality: 2

and am able to use:

aqi:
    attribute: air_quality
    unit: ppb

Hi dimatx, I have a 131S.

Are you putting a dash in front of attribute under aqi? I have a Levoit 300S and the card was displaying "AQI" until I removed the dash and then it worked.

This works:

aqi:
  attribute: air_quality
  unit: PM2.5

This does not:

aqi:
  - attribute: air_quality
    unit: PM2.5

Hi sourworm, removing the dash displays the string correctly, but still as text.
I guess model 131S does not return the actual value, just a description…
