power_factor -- no unit of measurement

[mtrekker]

Is this config or winet-extractor issue ?

What HA version are you running by any chance?

Your HA is wanting power factor as a percentage which caused some discussion in https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/469 and https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/85181 since strictly speaking power factor is not a percentage but this should have been fixed last year.

I also don't see that message in my logs running on 2024.11.1.

I am getting power_factor warning at restart.

Comparing 2 sensors, one has and the other doesn't have unit defined.
