Manual input sensor

Configuration
1

I have a manual power meter [1] and would like to keep track of the consumption by manually entering the readout from time to time.

Is there any easy way to do this using home assistant?

You could use an input number:

There’s an example here: Component for manual meter readings?

Or publish to an MQTT sensor:

Or use the file sensor.
