There's an ongoing conversation in the PyEmVue library github (the one I wrote/use for this) in that amps is not directly accessible from the API. Until something for that is added to PyEmVue I can't add it to the home assistant plugin either. I'm not sure how I'd provide an option for it, potentially just an extra sensor, so I'll also have to do a bit of research on that. Link to other discussion https://github.com/magico13/PyEmVue/issues/5

It's very easy to calculate. A = W / V. Take your local voltage and create a new sensor for it.

AmpHours is now an option on the new API so it should be easier to set up. I'm not sure if/when I'll add it to this, it might be worth forking this repo to change the unit if you don't care about having the Watt based sensors.

I personally don't care... will add sensors myself on HA to calculate Amps if needed.
