- sensor.weatherapi_
- air_quality.weatherapi_
- weather.weatherapi_

custom_components/weatherapi/into<config directory>/custom_components/weatherapi/. - Restart HomeAssistant.

- v0.7: If you had upgraded to v0.6 then the previous UV and air_quality entities will appear unavailable. Now individual entities for air quality parameters are created.
- v0.6: You might get duplicated/invalid entity after upgrading to v0.6. This can be fixed by deleting the inactive entity and adjusting the id of the active entity from
Configuration -> Devices & Services -> Entities.
