Feature request - sensor kW/h

[netmindz]

Currently you can define a sensor that returns the current kW value, but to use the energy dashboard you need a sensor that returns the total usage

I could possibly write something myself that tries to create the running total adding every second to the total and reset in my own code, but it would be nicer if it was part of the library

Same request, how did you solve it?

I thought I found a way to convert between the two within HomeAssistant, but i've not managed to get it to work. It would be much nicer if there was just a sensor provided by the library. I think the logic would be something like

every minute take the wattage and add to a running total. After 1 hour, divide by 60 to get the average wattage, then divide by 1000 to get into kW, then add that value to the sensor's total

Adjust accordingly if you wanted the sensor to update more often than 1 hour
