Dear all,
after reading lots of documentation and not finding a solution I have to ask for help:
In FaQ's I'm told "to open a new issue against the integration if any of the attributes are not correct."

My case:

device_class must be energy for electricity grid, solar, or battery categories BUT device_class is power
state_class must be total or total_increasing BUT state_class is measurment

Any chance to modify this on my own? Or do I have to wait for a fix?

Many thanks in advance and kind regards
Georg

Power and energy are different things. You cannot just force a power sensor to be energy, it will have a nonsensical value.

If solaredge really doesn't provide an energy sensor (somewhat surprised by this), you can make one by feeding the power sensor into an integral helper.
