Energy Dashboard ESPHome Gas and Water

Configuration
1

What am I doing wrong here.
My gas and water statistics aren’t found in the energy dashboard, but I can see the statistics and entities in the Developer Tools menu.
Both water and gas are measured via pulse meters on some ESP32s.
Here is the relevant ESPHome yaml:

Water:

  - platform: pulse_counter
    pin: D1
    accuracy_decimals: 2
    unit_of_measurement: 'GPH'
    update_interval: 1s
    name: "Main Water"
    id: main_water
    icon: mdi:water
    filters:
      # 330 pulses/L  .00303 L/m * 15.8503 to get GPH
      - multiply: 0.048031212
      
    total:
      unit_of_measurement: gl
      name: 'Total Main Water'
      id: total_main_water
      icon: mdi:water
      device_class: water
      filters:
        # 330 pulses/L  3.78541 L/G
        - multiply: 0.0008005217

Gas:

   # Gas monitor 1 pulse = 1 Ft3
  - platform: pulse_counter
    pin:
      number: GPIO3
      mode:
        input: true
        pulldown: true
    accuracy_decimals: 2
    update_interval: 20s
    unit_of_measurement: ft³/m
    name: "Main Gas"
    id: main_gas
    icon: mdi:fire
      
    total:
      unit_of_measurement: ft³
      name: 'Total Main Gas'
      id: total_main_gas
      icon: mdi:fire
      device_class: energy

I’ve tried numerous reboots, and it’s been well over 3 or 4 hours since I touched the entities in the ESPHome yaml. I have modified the ESPHome yaml, but other than that, I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure out why gas and water isn’t showing up in the energy dashboard.

Same issue.

But I am monitoring only water consumption with Wmbusmeters.
I receiving values with Node-RED add-on over MQTT.
Then I’m creating entity in NR.

In my case, I still see the problem that the device class “water” cannot be chosen in the entity parameters in NR!?

Any ideas?
Thx.

NR MQTT >> HA Entity

Actually I solved my issue and posted here: Water Meter in Energy Dashboard Not Available - #17 by justynnuff

I didn’t realize that thread was open when I posted this.

For your issue, I’m not familiar with Node Red at all, but it sounds like they just need an update to include the relatively new (I think) device_class: water perhaps?
