How to change Transmission down/up speed unit from MB/s to kB/s?

I have tried…

customize:
    sensor.transmission_down_speed:
        unit_of_measurement: "kB/s"
    sensor.transmission_up_speed:
        unit_of_measurement: "kB/s"

…but it just change the text of the unit. It doesn’t change the value.

The unit of measurement for the speed is hard-coded because the value is calculated.

Simplest way to use an unit of measurement of your choice, is a template sensor.

thanks for your pointer. I managed to do it using this code…

- platform: template
  sensors:
    transmission_down_speed_kbps:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.transmission_down_speed.state | multiply(1024) }}'
        friendly_name: 'Transmission Down Speed'
        unit_of_measurement: 'kB/s'
    transmission_up_speed_kbps:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.transmission_up_speed.state | multiply(1024) }}'
        friendly_name: 'Transmission Up Speed'
        unit_of_measurement: 'kB/s'

Please can you help me?

I have
sensor.fritz_box_7490_kib_s_received
and
sensor.fritz_box_7490_kib_s_sent

I tried your code, of course, replace states.sensor.transmission_down_speed.state with states.sensor.fritz_box_7490_kib_s_received without success

Do put .state behind it?
