The iqvia sensor platform collects and displays allergy, asthma and disease information (based on a U.S. ZIP code) from IQVIA. Data measured includes:

• Indicies for allergies, asthma and cold/flu indices
• Trends
• Current outlook
• more!

Configuring the Platform

To integrate iqvia into Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:

iqvia:
  zip_code: "00544"

{% configuration %} zip_code: description: The U.S. ZIP code to gather data for (as a quoted string). required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

It is important to ensure the ZIP code is quoted if it starts with a 0. Unquoted ZIP codes that start with 0 will cause errors.

Understanding the Indices

Any index-related sensor will have a value between 0.0 and 12.0. The values map to the following human-friendly ratings:

Range	Rating
0.0 - 2.4	Low
2.5 - 4.8	Low/Medium
4.9 - 7.2	Medium
7.3 - 9.6	Medium/High
9.7 - 12.0	High

Understanding Asthma Allergens

Several asthma-related sensors carry information regarding the top three "asthma allergens" (i.e., irritants that may exacerbate asthma symptoms). Example values include:

Pollutant	Symbol	More Info
Particulate (<= 2.5 μm)	PM2.5	EPA: Particulate Matter (PM) Pollution
Particulate (<= 10 μm)	PM10	EPA: Particulate Matter (PM) Pollution
Ozone	O	EPA: Ozone Pollution
Sulpher Dioxide	SO2	EPA: Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Pollution
Carbon Monoxide	CO	EPA: Carbon Monoxide (CO) Pollution in Outdoor Air
