History of tilt entity in HA not shown as line graph about ispindel HOT 5 CLOSED

It looks like an HA bug to me. Can you reason why this is an iSpindel issue instead?

from ispindel.

Its the way HA functions. Without a unit it treats the value as a state (open, opening, closed, closing) and does not show the line graph. When adding a unit, it is treated like a continuous unit that they are able to graph.
There are special units (like degrees C) that they graph in a special way, anything that is not in their special list will just receive the normal line graph treatment.
Hope this helps!

Thanks makes sense

How are you defining the sensor in HA?

Because you should be able to set the unit_of_mesurment in the config without it having to be passed from the source for example my definition of CPU temp for one of my servers.

In this case its configured by the iSpindel itself using the HA MQTT Auto Discovery topics.
