I got rid of CO2 from the config file, no need for it as CO2 shows up as one of the 5 accessories under Air Quality for the 480i in Home.

Hi, I have similar error, couldn't start homebridge instance itself due to this plugin. When I set CO2 entity and "getHistoricalStats": false in config file, Error messages appeares in homebridge UI log file shown in red color.

If I got rid of CO2 entity in the config file, and set "getHistoricalStats": true, homebridge instance has started without problem however there is several error message in white letter as shown below.
