Hi @lolouk44 I hope you're doing well. I am not tagging you to rush you. Just wanted to say I was about to post the same issue, saw this. I have it too. The sensor is no longer reporting the watts, I've lost monitoring. The serial device is still showing in /dev/serial/by-id folder and it's mounted to the HA container just as before.

Hi, I edited sensor.py in custom_components/currentcost changing POWER_WATT at the end of line 11 to UnitOfPower, like this

from homeassistant.const import CONF_NAME, CONF_UNIQUE_ID, CONF_DEVICES, EVENT_HOMEASSISTANT_STOP, UnitOfPower

and also changed line 62 POWER_WATT to UnitOfPower.WATT and it has fixed the error

self._unit = UnitOfPower.WATT

UnitOfPower

That seems to have fixed this for me - Thanks.
