Rename sen5x voc/nox keys to voc_index/nox_index for ESPHome 2026.8.0

[bharvey88]

Version: 26.8.17.1

What does this implement/fix?

ESPHome 2026.8.0 renames the sen5x voc/nox sensor keys to voc_index/nox_index (esphome/esphome#17724). This updates Core.yaml to the new keys and bumps min_version to 2026.8.0 in all variants. Entity names and IDs are unchanged, so precompiled/OTA users see no difference. Users compiling the config themselves need ESPHome 2026.8.0 or newer.

Note: the stable CI leg will fail until 2026.8.0 leaves beta (the new keys do not exist in 2026.7.4). Beta and dev legs pass.

Fixes #123

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9c297

The firmware version declared in Core.yaml does not match the intended release version stated for this PR, which could expose incorrect version metadata to users. The change is otherwise localized and mergeable once the owner confirms or corrects the target version.

Poem

A rabbit hops through YAML bright,
Firmware blooms to newer light.
VOC and NOx find names anew,
Index keys guide the sensors through.
Ears twitch: the update’s done!

Set the firmware version to 26.8.17.1 if that is the intended release target.

Integrations/ESPHome/Core.yaml currently declares 26.8.27.1. The AIR-1, factory, and BLE configurations pass ${version} to esphome.project.version, so updating Core.yaml updates all consumers.
