Could you add state_class: measurement to the reqBody as this would allow uage of the "Statistics Graph Card" for better long term reporting and display.

What type?

Hi

The type would be measurement

Below is a workaround using a template sensor

template:
      - name: "Argon Fan Speed"
        unit_of_measurement: "%"
        state: '{{ states("sensor.argon_one_addon_fan_speed") }}'
        state_class: measurement
        icon: mdi:fan

I would guess that the following line would need changing from

reqBody='{"state": "'"${fanPercent}"'", "attributes": { "unit_of_measurement": "%", "icon": "'"${icon}"'", "Temperature '"${CorF}"'": "'"${cpuTemp}"'", "friendly_name": "Argon Fan Speed"}}'

to the following, but I am only guessing at the right placement

reqBody='{"state": "'"${fanPercent}"'","state_class": "measurement" , "attributes": { "unit_of_measurement": "%", "icon": "'"${icon}"'", "Temperature '"${CorF}"'": "'"${cpuTemp}"'", "friendly_name": "Argon Fan Speed"}}'

or

reqBody='{"state": "'"${fanPercent}"'" , "attributes": { "unit_of_measurement": "%", "icon": "'"${icon}"'" ,"state_class": "measurement", "Temperature '"${CorF}"'": "'"${cpuTemp}"'", "friendly_name": "Argon Fan Speed"}}'
