mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: energy_water
      state_topic: rtlamr/[water meder id]/state
      unit_of_measurement: Gallons
      icon: mdi:water-circle
      device_class: water
      state_class: total_increasing

    - name: energy_gas
      state_topic: rtlamr/[gas meter id]/state

I am not sur unit is Gallons but gal only . After change you will have to correct your statistics

#

Refer to the list attached .

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/

#

And for gas it is ft3 ( small 3) for you

thanks @long lark , I changed those over and I'll see if they make any difference. The linked docs were much more helpful, the stuff I'd been looking at (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/energy/water/) didn't seem to really tell me much.... are you aware of any docs specifically around the energy functionally that are in the same vein as what you sent over for the sensor entities? I wasn't seeing much on energy when I checked around the branches there.

#

or just any documentation or dev tools for debugging the energy functionality in general. I feel like I'm lacking tools for troubleshooting what's going on with energy

No I agree with you that documentation for energy are not clear . You will find all the answer by reading this energy group . I would say that questions and answers are always the same.
