Inverter firmware upgrade changed 5 entity state classes or units

[captainkev76]

Alpha just updated the firmware on my inverter to fix a bug. Since it's come back online, I'm seeing these 5 repairs needing required in HA:

1. We have generated statistics for 'Alpha ESS Energy Statistics : AL7002222060xyz Installed Capacity' (sensor.al7002222060xyz_installed_capacity) in the past, but it no longer has a state class, therefore, we cannot track long term statistics for it anymore.
2. We have generated statistics for 'Alpha ESS Energy Statistics : AL7002222060538lxyx Inverter nominal Power' (sensor.al7002222060xyz_inverter_nominal_power) in the past, but it no longer has a state class, therefore, we cannot track long term statistics for it anymore.
3. We have generated statistics for 'Alpha ESS Energy Statistics : AL70022220605lxyz Pv nominal Power' (sensor.al7002222060xyz_pv_nominal_power) in the past, but it no longer has a state class, therefore, we cannot track long term statistics for it anymore.
4. The unit of 'Alpha ESS Energy Statistics : AL7002222060538 Pv nominal Power' (sensor.al7002222060538_pv_nominal_power) changed to 'kW' which can't be converted to the previously stored unit, 'kWh'.
   If the historic statistic values have a wrong unit, you can update the units of the old values. The values will not be updated.
5. The unit of 'Alpha ESS Energy Statistics : AL7002222060xyz Inverter nominal Power' (sensor.al7002222060xyz_inverter_nominal_power) changed to 'kW' which can't be converted to the previously stored unit, 'kWh'.If the historic statistic values have a wrong unit, you can update the units of the old values. The values will not be updated.
   Otherwise you can choose to delete all historic statistic values, and start over.

Are these issues already known? Any advice about how to deal with them?

Hey guys, sorry, been busy with uni exams so haven't had a chance to respond.

this was intended.

When these entities were introduced, I made it with the wrong state classes

This latest patch was introduced to fix it with the correct types/state classes

Deleting the history for them all is fine, none of them held any long term data

No apology needed! Hope your exams have went well and that you've now got the summer off to chill 😎

So should we just click "delete" or "fix issue" for each of the issues?

Thanks so much! 😄

So should we just click "delete" or "fix issue" for each of the issues?

iirc, if you "fix issue" wherever you can, it also migrates all the old entitle data to the new state class
