I disagree. Exposing information about whether the device needs
calibrating is important as it allows the web app to ask the user to
address this where appropriate.

If you'd like to add information about the accuracy of the data, this
seems to be largely orthogonal to concerns about calibration (a
correctly calibrated device may still be inaccurate). Trying to
combine accuracy and calibration in a single enum seems awkward,
particularly if we're to include an 'unknown' value for either or both
concepts.
