How to tell Powercalc how long my Hue LightStrip is?

[Photelegy]

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to this very interesting HACS integration.

Where or how can I tell Powercalc how long my Hue LightStrip is?
Because it could just be the normal length (2m) or has multiple extension (each 1m).
And the powerconsumption between the base (2m) and a base with multiple extensions (e.g. 5m or even 10m) will be different.
(It can't automatically detect if or how many extentions are on the base-LightStrip, right?)

As an example are here 3m (the base + one extension):

Thank you all very much!

Which lightstrip model do you have exactly?

For most lightstrips which have support for extensions powercalc provides multiple power profiles where you can choose from during setup.
For example Hue gradient strip has 2 profiles, length 2m and 2.5m. https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc/tree/master/custom_components/powercalc/data/signify/LCX004
However the "old" strips LCL001 and LCL003 don't provide multiple profiles yet. You can have a look into measuring and submitting these yourself, see https://homeassistant-powercalc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/measure.html.

Alternatively you may have a look info multiply_factor option, but that won't be exact.
