Update airthings.markdown to reflect the latency in adding the radon … #39552

…sensor. I noticed that the radon sensor entity was not created when the device was newly added - the Airthings API itself won't return a value until the sensor actually has a known value. Since this could be confusing, I added a tip to the documention to try and help folks understand it. This would only happen if you added a new device to Airthings and immediately added it to Home Assistant.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughA new informational tip was added to the Airthings integration documentation, clarifying that radon sensor data is initially not published by the Airthings API and may be considered "unknown" at device startup. Users may need to wait for the radon sensor to appear for new devices. No functional or code changes were made. Changes

Fix spelling and improve grammar in informational tip
The pipeline is flagging a misspelling (“Initally”) and the phrasing is awkward. Update to:
-{% tip %} Initally, the radon sensor not published from the Airthings API (it is considered "unknown"), and so you may have to wait 24 hours to see the radon sensor appear for a new device.{% endtip %}
+{% tip %} Initially, the radon sensor is not published by the Airthings API (it is considered “unknown”), so you may have to wait up to 24 hours to see the radon sensor appear for a new device.{% endtip %}📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In source/_integrations/airthings.markdown at line 29, correct the spelling of
"Initally" to "Initially" and improve the grammar of the tip by rephrasing it
for clarity and smoothness. Ensure the sentence clearly states that the radon
sensor is initially not published by the Airthings API and may take up to 24
hours to appear for a new device.

The sentence is missing the verb “is” and can be streamlined for clarity. Suggest updating to:

maybe this could be moved to a troubleshooting section at the end of this page?

…sensor.
I noticed that the radon sensor entity was not created when the device was newly added - the Airthings API itself won't return a value until the sensor actually has a known value. Since this could be confusing, I added a tip to the documention to try and help folks understand it. This would only happen if you added a new device to Airthings and immediately added it to Home Assistant.
