The report by Home Assistant is correct; those are not valid unit of measurement for the matching device class.

As these are ESPHome sensors (that you set up yourself), please adjust your ESPHome configuration; to either use a supported unit of measurement for the provided device class, or remove the device class in case you want to keep using that unit of measurement.

Cosine of an angle ( cos(φ) ) as a percentage (%)??? Interesting joke, but not funny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

Sorry, but I wasn't joking.

Our architecture does not support it. Please consult our documentation for information on kept unit of measurement and device class combinations.
