There has been introduced a breaking change which might affect your installation.
Since the beginning of Powercalc project whenever you had auto discovery enabled, entities were automatically created in the background.
Later on I have added the GUI for a streamlined experience. Discovered items appear in the GUI now and you can either configure (accept) or ignore them.
Currently even without accepting or ignoring the discovered items entities were still created in the background.
This is confusing and I wanted to remove that behaviour going forward. In this release v1.8.0 I finally removed this behaviour so entities will only be created when you deliberately accept it in the GUI, or you define the auto discoverable entities in YAML (entity_id: light.my_light).
Besides this change also the YAML structure has been changed to adopt to HA best practices. The structure with platform: powercalc is not allowed for new integrations. So I thought it was also a good idea to change Powercalc to the new format, so we won't have any breaking changes in the future when HA decides to drop platform: support.
It's a small change and procedure is explained here: https://homeassistant-powercalc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/new-yaml-structure.html
