I changed the Unit of Measurement of sensor.solaredge_lifetime_energy in the frontend from Wh to MWh, which looked better in the lovelace GUI. The energy dashboard doesn’t mind.
After a few days I discovered it does affect InfluxDB and as a result Grafana. InfluxDB started a new times series “hassio”.“autogen”.“MWh” it was “hassio”.“autogen”.“Wh”. The Grafana graphs didn’t update. Changing the Unit of Measurement back to Wh solved this.
Maybe a warning in the GUI if infuxDB is installed?
As an alternative you may take control in the influx integration configuration and use “override_measurement” to define the measurements created in influx.
I used only global settings with wildcards based on the entity name like
component_config_glob:
sensor.*temperature*:
override_measurement: temperature
to put all temperatures into the “temperature”-measurement instead of the default by unit “°C”
should also work for single entities, but I have not verified the syntax:
component_config:
sensor.solaredge_lifetime_energy:
override_measurement: Wh
Or use it to group into measurements in influx in a different way, like everything related to energy into the same measurement.
This is inside the “influxdb”-configuration, see documentation for details, but unfortunately it does not have samples for “override_measurement”
