localtuya HA 2022.4.1 Unit of Measurement Feature needs native_unit_of

The problem

With the introduction of the Unit of Measurement feature in HA 2022.4.1 it appears that native_unit_of_measurement needs to be added.

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/ suggests this is optional, what behaviours are you seeing that suggest it is required?

It appears without it you cannot use the new Unit Of Measurement feature.

My particular use-case would allow me to convert a manual added food thermometer from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Hi, I appear to have a similar issue. I can't work out how to get my Inkbird IBBQ-4T to give me degrees celsius using localtuya. As per the forum discussion, it used to work if I set the unit to °F (using the exact ° symbol) and HA would auto-convert to C since that's my general setting: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/cannot-get-tuya-integration-to-work/226356/19 Now, no matter what I set in localtuya, I can't get my temperatures to convert - they always report in Fahrenheit with whatever unit I enter next to the value. Can this be updated now please? Thank you!

Same for me. Quite annoying.

Thank you!

Hi, same for me. Also using a Inkbird IBBQ-4T.

Just created a Tenplate Sensor to covert for now.

Could you share the sensor please? I don't have any hopes for this repository to be honest, looking at all the open pull requests and issues.

Will do, currently I'm on vacation. Back home I'll share my Sensor

Here is my Sensor Config for convert °F to °C:

        {{ (((states.sensor.ibbq_sensor1.state | float - 32 )) * 5/9) | round(1) }}
    ibbq_sensor2_c:
      friendly_name: "iBBQ Sensor 2"
      unit_of_measurement: '°C'

Please add the unit_of_measurement parameter. https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya/issues/1074
