@caco3 : is this a topic of the home assist implementation?

It is a bit complicated:
The device itself does not know what kind of unit you use. Therefore the Value and rate are unit-less.
But since Homeassistant requires the value to have a unit (so the Energy Dashboard can use it), we have to add a unit.

Most watermeter provide m3, so you should set the meter type to use m3.
If you want to have the values in l instead, you have to:

• set the meter type to use l and
• set the DecimalShift to -3 (or maybe 3, I did not test it)
