I've looked through the code, this is correct behaviour.

I think you're misunderstanding how the Energy Dashboard works in Home Assistant.

It doesn't work by taking the kW or W output of a device and then calculating the kWh from that. Instead it takes a running total of the kWh and then aggregates it/separates it over time.

If you select that value I can promise you it'll give you the expected result.
