Depending on the utility and your setup, multiple meters may exist for a single utility account.
If this is the case, your sensors will use a unique ID that does not tie back to any identifier used by the utility to distinguish the data streams within that single account.

Because utilities only release usage/cost data with a 48-hour delay, the integration inserts data into statistic objects. Because utilities only release usage/cost data with a 48-hour delay, the integration inserts data into statistic objects.

At the initial setup, the integration pulls historical monthly usage/cost since the account activation.

Similar to sensors, if there are multiple meters for a single utility account, the statistics IDs and names will use an id that does not tie back to any identifier used by the utility to distinguish the data streams within that single account.
If you have multiple meters, when integrating statistics into the energy dashboard, you may have to guess and check to determine which statistic means what.
