Long term statistics are saved for sensors with a state_class of measurement, total or total_increasing. The long term statistics data is sampled and averaged once per hour, to save storage. Therefore, the values might look different from what you see from the recorder data, which shows the measured values at the sample rate defined for that sensor. The detailed data will be shown with a darker line on graphs. If the chosen time frame exceeds the retention period defined in the recorder, the long term statistics table is used as a data source.
