Statistics of the accumulated growth of the sensor's value since it was first added is updated every 5 minutes.
## Restoring sensor states
Sensors which restore the state after restart or reload should not extend `RestoreEntity` because that does not store the `native_value`, but instead the `state` which may have been modifed by the sensor base entity. Sensors which restore the state should extend `RestoreSensor` and call `await self.async_get_last_sensor_data` from `async_added_to_hass` to get access to the stored `native_value` and `native_unit_of_measurement`.
## Long-term Statistics
Home Assistant has support for storing sensors as long-term statistics if the entity has
