Feedback

I am unable to get the correct power reading displayed in the Energy Usage Dashboard. It displays ok in the Main Dashboard. But I can't get the sensor to display in the enegry dashboard. And the sensor I need doesn't show up when I try and add consumption. Infact the only things that do show up are the ones that I have disabled. When looking at the Device states (why an earth do you call them entities its not confusing at all) For the energy consumption sensor it gives the following" state_class: measurement unit_of_measurement: W device_class: power friendly_name: Energy Consumption"

You cannot add an entity with the value power in watts to the energy dashboard. You need an energy entity with the value in kWh.
