Derivative sensors are updated upon changes of the **source sensor**. -For sensors that reset to zero after a power interruption and need a "non-negative derivative", such as bandwidth counters in routers, or rain gauges, consider using the [Utility Meter](/integrations/utility_meter/) integration instead. Otherwise, each reset will register a significant change in the derivative sensor. +For sensors that reset to zero after a power interruption and need a "non-negative derivative", such as bandwidth counters in routers, or rain gauges, you can now use this integration directly. Ensure that the input sensor has a `total_increasing` state class, as this is necessary for the integration to handle resets correctly without registering significant changes in the derivative sensor. {% include integrations/config_flow.md %} {% configuration_basic %}
