   is set.
 
+- **ambient_pressure_compensation_source** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set an external pressure sensor ID used for ambient pressure compensation.
+  The pressure sensor must report pressure in hPa. the correction is applied before updating the state of the co2 sensor.
+
 - **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor.
   Defaults to ``0x62``.
 
 - **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the
   sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.

+Note: that the pressure from bme280 is in hPa and must be converted to bar.
