mold indicator calibration_factor is confusing #40184

Feedback

This integration is unfriendly, unlike most of the HA integrations.
The user is asked to compute calibration factor, a number that requires a lot of thinking and is confusing.
calibration_factor = (temp_indoor - temp_outdoor) / (temp_criticalpoint - temp_outdoor)

Out of this, the number that should be asked is temp_criticalpoint. Why ask the user to calculate the calibration_factor when this can be computed by asking temp_criticalpoint? In fact, I would go further, instead of asking what temp_criticalpoint is, why not ask, the coldest surface temperature in the room?
