Hello! Thanks for your contribution. However, it was decided to not include power/energy measurement in the default YAML. This has a couple of reasons, also mentioned in the other pull request at https://github.com/ginkage/MHI-AC-Ctrl-ESPHome/pull/21. It will be better to maybe incorporate a part of it inside the README. Then people can paste it into their YAML and adjust accordingly if they desire to do so.
