* 1) read raw logarithmic resistance value from sensor

* measuring deteriorations and improvements of air quality.
+ * It can be read from the attribute in_resistance_raw.

- * measuring the air quality.
+ * 2) calculate an estimated absolute voc index (in_concentration_input)
+ * with 0 - 500 index points) for measuring the air quality.
* For this purpose the value of the resistance for which the voc index
- * will be 250 can be set up using calibbias.
+ * will be 250 can be set up using in_resistance_calibbias (default 30000).
+ *
+ * The voc index is calculated as:
+ * x = (in_resistance_raw - in_resistance_calibbias) * 0.65
+ * in_concentration_input = 500 / (1 + e^x)
*
* Compensation values of relative humidity and temperature can be set up
* by writing to the out values of temp and humidityrelative.
