Hydrawise as a Water Device in Energy Dashboard

Energy

I am trying to configure Hydrawise as a Water consuming Device in the Energy Dashboard. In order to be available for selection, the entity must be device_class ‘water’. The relevant entity is device_class ‘volume’:

sensor.*mysitename*_daily_total_water_use

unit_of_measurement: gal
attribution: Data provided by hydrawise.com
device_class: volume
icon: mdi:water-outline

Where can this be changed?

If the sensor is created in YAML as your code block suggests just change volume to water. If it’s being produced by an integration then you can customise it in the confiiguration.yaml file following these instructions.

I would have expected the appropriate device class to be volume_flow_rate :man_shrugging:
