How do I progress this issue? I wish to display a “Statistic Graph” card but at the bottom of the list of avalable Entities to add, I read this " Expected data source not listed". And, of course, it is not listed!
The entity, in my case, is called:
sensor.xy_md02_temp
… and is from an ESPHome device:
esphome:
name: esp8266-xy-md02
esp8266:
#board: d1_mini_pro #This is the actual board. But sometimes the OTA will fail?
board: esp01_1m #The compiler "says" that this will always work!

The “help” message says this:
You’re configuring a statistic but you couldn’t find your source in the dropdown? That’s caused by a bug in the integration providing the entity. Integrations need to configure their entities correctly so Home Assistant knows that we need to track statistics for it and how.
Open an issue with the author of the integration and link them to Sensor Entity | Home Assistant Developer Docs.
How do I track down the author? Is it the author of ESPHome Plugin, ModBus, ModBus_Controller?
Any help will be very welcome.
