 - **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I^2C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x76``. Another address can be ``0x77``.
 
-- **temperature_offset** (*Optional*, float): Temperature offset if device is in enclosure and reads too high.
-  This value is subtracted from the reading. If the sensor reads 5°C too high, set this to ``5``.  
-  This also corrects the relative humidity readings.

 - **iaq_mode** (*Optional*, string): IAQ calculation mode. Default is ``static`` for static applications (e.g. fixed indoor devices).
