Sensors
Overview
The integration defines 41 sensors and 18 binary sensors. Only the entities that apply to the configured rate are created for a contract. Entity names are translated by Home Assistant (English, French and Spanish); the names below are the English ones.
Entities marked Diagnostic are shown in the Diagnostic section of the device and are excluded from default dashboards. Some diagnostic entities are also disabled by default; enable them in the entity settings if needed.
