+Additionally, you can add template sensors to compute daily and monthly total usage. Important note, in these examples,
+we use the `is_number()` [function](/docs/configuration/templating/#numeric-functions-and-filters) to verify the values
+returned from the sensors are numeric. If this evalutes to false, `None` is returned.
