Energy Dashboard: Show Current Power Usage

[nsheldon (Nathan)]

I have an energy monitoring device (Rainforest Eagle) that reports near realtime demand power from the SmartMeter on the house. The demand power entity was created when the device was added to Home Assistant and is updated about once every minute. It would be nice to see the current demand power (kW) being used on the Energy dashboard.

Support power measurement in energy stats

Hey **It would be great if power sensors (measurement) were also supported. Many people don’t even know the difference between power (W) and energy (Wh). As a user, you should be able to select both energy and power sensors. Under the hood, Riemann integration could then be used to convert power to energy. The Energy Card is normally used to display the current power flow (W). The fact that the map is used here with the unit Wh is very confusing.
