I'd like to use python-aqi for an air quality monitoring project, but I'm struggling to understand the basics of AQI and finding precious little help elsewhere, so I wonder if the Readme could be expanded to make it super clear?
The readme seems focused on these single readings, but looking at the air quality indexes on wikipedia, all of the standards have minimum requirements that a certain number of types of pollutants are required, and that average values over 1hr, 24hrs, in fixed or rolling windows, are required. How do I get to a valid AQI output from python-aqi?
An AQI value normally maps to a group/category, a level, or both, to make the number easy to interpret and make use of. Does python-aqi provide these too, or does the output still need to be converted?
Can I use several measurements of a pollutant taken at the same time and the same place to calculate AQI? As using 2 or 3 cheap sensors counterbalances to inaccuracy/poor calibration of cheap consumer sensors somewhat. Or would you expect the average to be passed for each value?

For example, what is an Intermediate Air Quality Index? The closest I can find is an Individual Air Quality Index on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_quality_index
