Unable to select my configured sensors in the Home Assistant Energy Dashboard

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue where my sensors are not available for selection in the Energy Dashboard of Home Assistant. Below is the YAML configuration I am using for the energy management system:

# Energie-Management-System
energy:
  # Erzeugung
  generation:
    - platform: template
      sensors:
        pv_production:
          friendly_name: "PV Produktion"
          unit_of_measurement: "W"
          value_template: "{{ states('sensor.inverter_wirkleistung') | float }}"
          device_class: power                     # Device Class for power
          state_class: measurement                 # State Class for measurements

  # Netzeinspeisung
  consumption:
    - platform: template
      sensors:
        grid_feed_in:
          friendly_name: "Netzeinspeisung"
          unit_of_measurement: "W"
          value_template: "{{ states('sensor.power_meter_wirkleistung') | float }}"
          device_class: power                     # Device Class for power
          state_class: measurement                 # State Class for measurements

    # Verbrauchswert (Differenz)
    - platform: template
      sensors:
        consumption_value:
          friendly_name: "Verbrauch"
          unit_of_measurement: "W"
          value_template: "{{ states('sensor.leistung_diff') | float }}"
          device_class: power                     # Device Class for power
          state_class: measurement                 # State Class for measurements

  # Überschusswerte
  surplus:
    - platform: template
      sensors:
        pv_surplus:
          friendly_name: "PV Überschuss"
          unit_of_measurement: "W"
          value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.inverter_wirkleistung') | float) - (states('sensor.leistung_diff') | float) | max(0) }}"
          device_class: power                     # Device Class for power
          state_class: measurement                 # State Class for measurements

Despite setting the attributes correctly, the sensors cannot be selected in the Energy Dashboard configuration. I’ve verified that the device_class is set to power and the state_class is set to measurement.

I hope someone can help me troubleshoot this issue. Thank you!

Best regards,
Alex

The energy dashboard only handles energy (kWh), not power (W or kW).
