| Type | Description
| ---- | -----------
| `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT` | The state represents _a measurement in present time_, not a historical aggregation such as statistics or a prediction of the future. Examples of what should be classified `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT` are: current temperature, humidity or electric power. Examples of what should not be classified as `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT`: Forecasted temperature for tomorrow, yesterday's energy consumption or anything else that doesn't include the _current_ measurement. For supported sensors, statistics of hourly min, max and average sensor readings is updated every 5 minutes.
| `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT_ANGLE` | Similar to the above `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT`, the state represents _a measurement in present time_ for angles measured in degrees (`°`). An example of what should be classified `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT_ANGLE` is current wind direction
| `SensorStateClass.TOTAL` | The state represents a total amount that can both increase and decrease, e.g. a net energy meter. Statistics of the accumulated growth or decline of the sensor's value since it was first added is updated every 5 minutes. This state class should not be used for sensors where the absolute value is interesting instead of the accumulated growth or decline, for example remaining battery capacity or CPU load; in such cases state class `SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT` should be used instead.
| `SensorStateClass.TOTAL_INCREASING` | Similar to `SensorStateClass.TOTAL`, with the restriction that the state represents a monotonically increasing positive total which periodically restarts counting from 0, e.g. a daily amount of consumed gas, weekly water consumption or lifetime energy consumption. Statistics of the accumulated growth of the sensor's value since it was first added is updated every 5 minutes. A decreasing value is interpreted as the start of a new meter cycle or the replacement of the meter.
