I`m pretty new to HA so forgive me if my terminology is wrong, I need a sensor that will give me the 10 min average solar production from an existing entity sensor.garage_energy_monitor_power_b
This will be used for automation, enabling a pool pump and pool heater via relays on an ESP home device.
I need a ten min average to avoid devices cycling on and off on cloudy days due to the "edge of cloud effect" causing production spikes

Use a statistics sensor in the helper tab

Do you have an example of the setting I should use finding this a bit confusing

Not to hand, I'm on my phone
1st screen: name it and point it at your power sensor
2nd screen: average step
3rd screen: leave sampling size empty, max age to 10 mins, keep last sample yes, and a leave it on default precision
A better way would be is you have an energy entity instead, as you could use change in screen 2 instead and then divide by (intervals/hour - for 10 mins that's 6) to get power without having to do so much maths
