Add support to add measurement units and other metadata

[Saad-Imtiaz]

The problem

Feedback

In the documentation of the integration it should be motioned how to declare the unit of measurement for each sensor, right now I am getting this history graph, as shown in the picture below.

What I want is the line graph which I get on all my other sensors.

I know that unit of measurement needs to be defined for each entity but there is no information how to do so.

Please help me in this regard,

Thank you.

You might use customize: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unit-of-measurement/208905

It might need you to go the yaml way. Not great but it will have to do for a few weeks until we complete the features from the new integration.

Please rename the tittle to indicate this a feature request to configure measurement units. Thanks.

Thank you, @angelnu - This worked for me. Now I am getting a proper line graph.

It will be much appreciated if this can be added into the documentation of the integration, so no one else encounters the same issue.

[angelnu]

I will add a known limitations section and link the circumvention and planed development

I also ran into this issue. Would it be possible for this to be added into the UI? I'd love to make my first contribution to the project sometime, maybe this would be something I could do? Not sure how difficult it would be.
