This backports all the changes requested by HA developers in the official iotawatt integration.
The HACS version adds a few useful differences:
1- All sensors are usable in the energy screen, you don't need to create a template that would add the state_class attribute
2- The output sensors appear under iotawatt and can be edited.
Important note when updating to ensure that all your settings and setup remain functional:
1- Delete the iotawatt integration from the HA's integration screen.
2- Update the integration in HACS
3- Restart HA
4- Re-add and configure the iotawatt integration again
you’re data will be restored
If you follow those steps, this new version is backward compatible with the earlier ones.
Otherwise all the output sensors will get duplicated with a _2 added to their name requiring to delete the old ones and rename the new ones.
