"Power" devices of different unit_of_measurements are merged

Some of my plugs report multiple values (e.g. W, kWh, A, V etc) but currently they are all being grouped in the sensor.area_power_* sensors. It would be better if they could be grouped in unit_of_measurement

Could you clarify? Do you mean grouping plugs with same units of measurement?

Yes. One of my plugs exposes 5 entities with different units of measurements:

• sensor.zolder_plug_wasdroger_power
• sensor.zolder_plug_wasdroger_electricity_a_meter
• sensor.zolder_plug_wasdroger_electricity_kwh_meter (counter of used kwh)
• sensor.zolder_plug_wasdroger_electricity_pf_meter
• sensor.zolder_plug_wasdroger_electricity_v_meter

They are however being combined into one *_power entity by magic_areas which does not make much sense to me with the different units. For me, only the first one with unit_of_measurement: W is interesting. I could add them to the exclude (which I have done) but perhaps the “out of the box” behavior could be tweaked a little so it would make more sense?
