Shelly Uni Plus Impluse meter unit of measurement

Hi there,

i am currently migrating from openhab to homeassistant and i have a problem with my Shelly Uni Plus which counts the impluses from my watermeter (1imp/l).

The created entity in HA is created without a unit and the frontend does not let me change it.
It is just a float but there is no unit “m³” or “l”.

How to change the entitiy type so that there is a water unit?

If you are using xcounts or xfreq values, this will be improved in HA 2024.9

## Breaking change  ## Proposed change  While implementing Shelly virtual components I realized that we can get units for `xpercent`, `xfreq` and `xcounts` sensors for Shelly Plus Uni from the device configuration. These are sensors for which the user creates an expression to calculate the value and sets unit. Sample configuration: ```json { "input:2": { "id": 2, "name": null, "type": "count", "enable": false, "count_rep_thr": 100, "freq_window": 1, "freq_rep_thr": 10, "xcounts": { "expr": null, "unit": null }, "xfreq": { "expr": null, "unit": null } }, "input:100": { "id": 100, "name": "Volts", "type": "analog", "enable": true, "invert": false, "report_thr": 1, "range_map": [ 0.3, 100 ], "xpercent": { "expr": "x*0.2995", "unit": "V" }, "range": 1 } } ``` Documentation reference: https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen2/ComponentsAndServices/Input#configuration _I don't have a Shelly Plus Uni so I can't test this change with a real device._ ## Type of change  - [ ] Dependency upgrade - [ ] Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [ ] New integration (thank you!) - [x] New feature (which adds functionality to an existing integration) - [ ] Deprecation (breaking change to happen in the future) - [ ] Breaking change (fix/feature causing existing functionality to break) - [ ] Code quality improvements to existing code or addition of tests ## Additional information  - This PR fixes or closes issue: fixes # - This PR is related to issue: - Link to documentation pull request: ## Checklist  - [ ] The code change is tested and works locally. - [x] Local tests pass. **Your PR cannot be merged unless tests pass** - [x] There is no commented out code in this PR. - [x] I have followed the [development checklist][dev-checklist] - [x] I have followed the [perfect PR recommendations][perfect-pr] - [x] The code has been formatted using Ruff (`ruff format homeassistant tests`) - [x] Tests have been added to verify that the new code works.

Thanks for the info! I think this answers my question.

I’m using the standard Shelly integration, but I patched it with some code from the DEV branch, as the feature isn’t integrated yet, as far as I can see:
