Does the DC app respectively an AVD support home battery devices?

For several days, I’ve been trying to help a user to create an AVD for a home battery, but the data, power (W), and energy import and export (kWh) are not displayed in the Homey Energy Dashboard.  
The following capabilities and settings are used:

- **Device Class**  
– Battery
- **Power (W)**  
– Show as: `measure_power`
- **Energy Import (kWh)**  
– Show as: `meter_power`  
– Cumulative import: ☑
- **Energy Export (kWh)**  
– Show as: `meter_power`  
– Cumulative export: ☑
- **Advanced Device Settings**  
– Exclude from energy: No

Have we perhaps configured something wrong or overlooked something? 🤔
