I have an issue when this sensor first reads it has VERY HIGH values, is there a way that I can limit it to returning the 2nd value? I have tired to use:
https://esphome.io/components/sensor/ccs811.html
filters:
- median:
window_size: 11
send_every: 6
send_first_at: 3
Might be that -median might be unavailable for this sensor?
If not via "-median:", then maybe a "- lambda:" function could filter this out?

CCS811 CO_2 and Volatile Organic Compound Sensor
The reason I ask is because that sensor is not the best for reading CO2, it reads "eCO2" equivalent calculated carbon-dioxide.
I would recommend an NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) sensor like the MH-Z19 or this one https://atlas-scientific.com/probes/co2-sensor/
I have played around with sensors like the CCS811 and found then to be very erratic and not very useful to read real CO2 levels.
