So, most of my devices work fine on the energy now page (Showing instantaneous power). But for some reason I can't get my fronts watt pilot to configure.
The total energy is found. But even though the charging power tracks in the device as a valid sensor. With units of W
The energy config page won't list the power (But Wattpilot total charging is configured)
Perhaps I don't understand what you're trying to do. The Energy dashboard displays energy (kWh), not power (kW).
I added the Wattpilot to the Energy dashboard as an individual electrical device (using the entity Connection Charged) which works as expected.
To display power (ie instantaneous power flows), I am using Power Flow Card Plus
The old Energy pages only show Energy (kWh). The energy pages for the last 12 months or so, have allowed the Power to be configured for each device as well.

However it can be a struggle to get the config page to recognise all sensors, even if they appear to show the right unit (W)

OK, now I understand. To add a power sensor to the Energy dashboard, it must have a state class of measurement. The Wattpilot integration entity sensor.charging_power has no state class. So you have two options :
measurement to be added to the sensor.charging_power entity. Issues · mk-maddin/wattpilot-HA · GitHub
