Thanks wigster! Regarding this, would this be perceived as a bug of the utility sensor or something expected for people to fix?
To me this feels like unexpected behaviour: I’d expect that native HA Integrations to generally display within the UI. I guess it could be handled by either changing the utility_meter
code to capture this statistic or have some fallback method for the UI to display the sensor if no statistic is available.
Will probably raise an issue on GitHub
