Hi there

We are getting a heat pump installed and already have esphome energy monitoring in Home Assistant

Was planning to use a virtual monitor to make it visible in the VRM but unlike physical monitors looks like the role selection isn’t available in setup.

Anyone know a work round or know how I can make a feature request
