Help with ESPhome and Energy devices not available in "Energy" dashboard

Having a look at my config it seems that need to add a new sensor type that will use the power sensor as a source and do the calculations for the total energy. Below is an example of how mine works

  - platform: template
    name: ${disp_name} Total Solar Watts
    id: totalSolarWatts
    lambda: return id(solarwatts).state ;
    accuracy_decimals: 1
    unit_of_measurement: W
    icon: "mdi:flash-circle"
    update_interval: ${update_time}
  - platform: total_daily_energy
    name: ${disp_name} Solar kWh
    power_id: totalSolarWatts
    id: solarproducedkwh
    filters:
      - multiply: 0.001
    unit_of_measurement: kWh
    state_class: "total_increasing"

SOLUTION: ESPHome - SolarPV inverter - Energy sensor not available [SOLVED]
