How to replace entity in Energy Dashboard by new one without losing history

Configuration
2

Yes, just add the new entity. Change the entity_id of the old entity to a holder name, change the entity_id of the new entity to what the old entity’s entity_id used to be.

EDIT:

The new process is:

  1. Delete old entity
  2. Rename new entity to old entity_id
  3. New entity will inherit old entities history

Do not under any circumstances rename the old entity before you delete it, this will cause the history to follow the renamed name.
