Third beta for 2026.7.3, and the big one: Helios now follows the Home Assistant energy dashboard at 100% and never estimates a value.
- Live chips show measured sensors only. They appear when the matching source of your energy dashboard has its optional live power sensor; nothing is derived from cumulative meters anymore. The editor gains a live-data panel telling you, family by family, what your dashboard provides and what to add.
- Curves, scrub, clock and totals read your kWh meters through the recorder, the exact data the dashboard's bars are made of.
- A mis-wired live grid sensor (import-only in the signed slot) now hides the grid chips and the editor explains the fix, instead of showing untrustable values.
- Cloud coverage merged into the irradiance chip (no more floating chip colliding with the home): the sky icon lives on the W/m² chip, and the irradiance view draws the three cloud layers over the curve.
- Custom entity now takes a power sensor (live) AND an energy sensor (totals) in a redesigned editor block; your old single entity is pre-moved to the matching field.
- The home consumption override option is removed (the dashboard's balance is the single truth); the old key is ignored.
- Also in this beta: the production curve no longer flattens into a plateau on deep-bell days, and the buildings get refreshed mirrors, a per-mirror watchdog, an automatic retry and a force-download editor button.
