Watermeter - Value after restart

Hi, I have a watermeter pulse counter which I created a while ago. Now when I restart the ESP I have to manually (re)set the measured value. It goes back to the initial value which it was set to before and looses the counted values during last runtime. This is the relevant config.

how can I get the counted value also after reset or power failure (I take the risk of loosing pulses during power failures since I can manually call the service after that.

Via HA: # HA - Developer Tools - Services - ESPHome: meter_water - set value with point


api:
  services:
    - service: meter_water
      variables:
        meter_value: float
      then:
        - globals.set:
            id: totalWaterUsage
            value: !lambda "return ( meter_value ) ;"
# HA - Developer Tools - Services - ESPHome: meter_water - set value with point

globals:
  - id: totalWaterUsage
    type: float
    restore_value: yes
