improve "duration" sensor

[ChristophCaina]

With home-assistant/frontend#23017 and home-assistant/frontend#23025 HomeAssistant did some improvements on the Sensors that are using "duration" as value of measurement.

You can now define the default measurement of a duration sensor (days, hours, min, seconds, etc.)

These changes are not reflected by the Integration OilFox.

Thank you for this hint. I will check this and provide a new version in the next days :)

Got it fixed, going to release a new version tomorrow.

should be fixed/added in v.1.2.4

thanks, I will give it a test

Hi,
Thanks - the unit itself is now available, but converting it into other formats (hours, min, etc.) does not work.

[chises]

Okay. Can you tell me/provide a screenshot and show how to convert a other entity? That would be great :)

[ChristophCaina]

Hi,
Basically with providing the information about the UnitOfMeasurement and the correct deviceClass,
HA has a builtIn Feature to convert the unit between different Units of the same Type.

In the case of duration, you would have the option to change the unit of measurements to other time formats:

For Power, you can select different Power Units

And the same applies for Energy, and so on (would also apply for the usagecounter of this integration)

I think, this is acheived by using "native_unit_of_measurement" instead of "unit_of_measurement", as well as "native_value" - and probably "suggested_unit_of_measurement"

Got it fixed with your link https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/
But if I change the unit for usageCounterQuantity or energyConsumption these the decimal values are broken. I am working on this befor releasing a new version.
