Hi, your GE Local integration is working beautifully, however the sensor pv_power doesn't appear to available as a sensor when I try to use it to configure my solar panels in the Home Assistant Energy dashboard (see image describing available sensors below).

The HA dropdown suggests pointing you to https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/#long-term-statistics, however I've taken a look at the code and spotted the state_class in the sensors defined at: https://github.com/cdpuk/givenergy-local/blob/42410fa02b826a99f92515cfecca44a7a15000a6/custom_components/givenergy_local/sensor.py#L150

Have you been able to use your integration to power the Energy dashboard?

The HA energy dashboard only supports energy values, not power values. Your screenshot shows the "PV Energy" sensors for this reason. Some of my config: image
