Hi @MorVes,
The integration doesn't expose any power consumption sensor. Aquarea API only provides us with the energy consumption (kWh) and those are the units the entities use.
I believe you, but then I don't understand this:
Think of this like your car give you the average fuel consumption of your last trip. Nobody can tell what was the exact value of the injected fuel into the engine at any moment during the trip.
(I'm just guessing from the previous answers -> ) The API provies with averages (kWh) what you see in HA is most probably an interpolated graph.
Thanks @adamus-tork. For consumption we have 2 type of sensors, both are populated with the same data but they act in a different way. Both are total increasing https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/#state-class-total_increasing, however this one resets the cycle every hour (in fact when the data for the next hour starts populating). That's the reason you see that representation instead of seeing the accumulated.
That said, I believe there are some corner cases where the consumption sensors don't reflect the exact consumption, we have some reports of strange situations. I'll like to revisit them when I have some time, however for the time being, is the best that I could think of with the way Panasonic provides the data.
The problem
I wonder if the unit used for consumption should be W instead of Wh?
