Set state_class to support HA long term statistics #158

By setting the state_class="measurement" in accordance with https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/#long-term-statistics we can leverage the long term statistics of Home Assistant.

Here is an example where I have configured three Xiamo Mi Flora devices and plotting the temperature over time. Before making the change in this change I was not able to pick those entities, due to the missing state_class.

Agree, this is a needed change :) Thanks for the PR!!
