Setting the scan interval is optional, only needed if energy/power values are not updating frequently enough by default. Values less than 10 seconds may cause stability issues.

Energy monitoring (voltage, current...) values can be obtained in two different ways:
1) creating individual sensors, each one with the desired name. Note: Voltage and Consumption usually include the first decimal, so 0.1 as "scaling" parameter shall be used in order to get the correct values.
2) accessing the voltage/current/current_consumption attributes of a switch, and then defining template sensors like this (please note that in this case the values are already divided by 10 for Voltage and Consumption):

3) On some devices, you may find that the energy values are not updating frequently enough by default. If so, set the scan interval (see above) to an appropriate value. Settings below 10 seconds may cause stability issues, 30 seconds is recommended.
