Currently supports two AQI Services:

1. AirNow which is limited to the USA. A valid ZipCode is required.
2. Aqicn which has international support, provided by the World Air Quality Index Project.
3. Gamta AQI provider in Lithuania.

Depending on where exactly you would like to monitor AQI, one service may be more appropriate than the other.

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
