**Summary:** The top of the Energy tab shows the main meter, solar panels, home battery and EV charger as featured devices. For many homes (especially in NL with hybrid heat pumps such as Quatt), the heat pump is one of the largest consumers — often bigger than the EV charger in winter. Today it only appears somewhere in the regular device list.

**Request**

1. Add a featured energy role for devices with class `heatpump` (or `virtualClass: heatpump`), alongside `cumulative`, `generator`, `homeBattery` and `evCharger`.
2. Show it in the Energy overview / energy flow next to grid, solar, battery and EV.
3. Optionally: let users pin any device to the top of the Energy tab and choose the order.
4. Nice to have: show heat output and COP next to the electrical power when the device provides capabilities for them (e.g. `measure_heatpump_thermal_power`, `measure_heatpump_cop`).

**My setup**

- Homey Pro mini, Homey 13.5.3
- Quatt Duo CiC (app `io.quatt`, class `heatpump`) — reports `measure_power` and `meter_power` correctly and is included in Energy reports
- Alfen EV charger, Enphase solar, P1 energy dongle — all shown at the top

**Why** In winter the heat pump is the device users most want to watch and optimise: dynamic prices, solar surplus, avoiding peaks while the car is charging. Having it next to solar and the EV charger makes those decisions visible at a glance.
