title: "Deprecate invalid use of sensor unit of measurement and state class"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Since Home Assistant Core 2022.12, a warning is issued in the logs if a sensor entity that has a device class
|
|
uses unit of measurement and state class incorrectly, taking their device class into account.
|
|
|
|
An invalid use would be a sensor entity that has a device class of `SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE` but uses
|
|
the unit of measurement `%` instead of `°C` or `°F`; or the state class `SensorStateClass.TOTAL`
|
|
instead of `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT`.
|
|
|
|
There will be a six-month deprecation period to ensure all custom integration authors have time to adjust.
|
|
As of Home Assistant Core 2024.8, the warning will then be replaced by an exception. |
