I have a sensor (SDM_meter) displaying in a Dashboard Gauge. The only way I have found to get the gauge to update is to leave esphome log window open in one HA session while the gauge is showing in another HA session?
The log seems (to me) to be sending/receiving traffic every 10 second as programmed but as mentioned above, unless the log is running, the gauge does not update. I am sure that when I first wrote this .yaml that it worked as expected!
