What is this and do I need to solve it?

What integration have created those sensors? You can see this if you search the name under entities :blush:

Sorry, forgot to mention… ESPHOME

FWIW, this is the yaml of it:

  - platform: total_daily_energy
    name: ${channel_1} energy
    power_id: power_channel_1
    filters:
      # Multiplication factor from W to kW is 0.001
      - multiply: 0.001
    unit_of_measurement: kW

  - platform: total_daily_energy
    name: ${channel_2} energy
    power_id: power_channel_2
    filters:
      # Multiplication factor from W to kW is 0.001
      - multiply: 0.001
    unit_of_measurement: kW

Energy is measured in kWh, not kW (that’s power).

Change your unit_of_measurement for both sensors.
