Show in KW instead of W

Configuration
1

I am using this to pull the power consumption from Shelly EM.

- platform: rest
  name: Sensor Load
  resource: http://192.168.1.53/status
  username: 'user'
  password: 'pass'
  authentication: basic
  value_template: '{{ value_json.emeters.0.power }}'
  scan_interval: 5
  unit_of_measurement: KW

My problem is that the number is shown in Watts instead of Kilowatts.

How can I make it shown in Kilowatts?

Thanks

Assuming power is not a string value:

value_template: '{{ value_json.emeters.0.power / 1000 }}'

Or this if want to limit the number of decimal places:

value_template: '{{ (value_json.emeters.0.power / 1000) | round(2) }}'

If power is a string value then you should use thefloat filter to convert it before performing the division.

Thank you.
Is there also a way to remove all those numbers to the right?
Maybe only keep 2.74?

Use the round filter as shown in my second example.
