> 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

However, the AVD isn’t displayed at all in the Energy Dashboard.
