Esphome pulse S0 Meter into energy dashboard

Energy
1

I have some long time esphome pulse counter for 3 solar strings running that I would like to add to the energy dashboard as seperate systems.

Right now I cannot select them
I have this in esphome;

esphome:
  name: solar
  platform: ESP8266
  board: nodemcuv2
  
wifi:
  ssid: ""
  password: ""

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "solar"
    password: ""

captive_portal:

# Enable logging
logger:

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:

ota:

web_server:
  port: 80

# Sync time with Home Assistant.
time:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: homeassistant_time

# Text sensors with general information.
text_sensor:
  # Expose ESPHome version as sensor.
  - platform: version
    name: solar ESPHome Version
  # Expose WiFi information as sensors.
  - platform: wifi_info
    ip_address:
      name: solar IP
    ssid:
      name: solar SSID
    bssid:
      name: solar BSSIID

  - platform: pulse_counter
    pin: GPIO5
    unit_of_measurement: 'kW'
    name: 'Energy solar huis zuid'
    device_class: energy
    state_class: total_increasing
    filters:
      - multiply: 0.06
      
  - platform: pulse_counter
    pin: GPIO4
    unit_of_measurement: 'kW'
    name: 'Energy solar tuinhuis'
    device_class: energy
    filters:
      - multiply: 0.06      

  - platform: pulse_counter
    pin: GPIO14
    unit_of_measurement: 'kW'
    name: 'Energy solar oost'
    device_class: energy
    filters:
      - multiply: 0.06

i already added
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
in one counter, but to no available

Does it work if you change the units from kW to kWh?

3

no, no difference

So it doesn’t show up if it has?
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
UoM: kWh

Could try it as a template sensor I suppose
Something like…

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Energy solar huis zuid"
        unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
        device_class: energy
        state_class: total_increasing
        state: >
           {{ states('sensor.energy_solar_huis_zuid') }}
