Extract edimax switch energy attributes into sensors

[balloob]

This issue is for the switch platform of the edimax integration.

The switch integration has embedded sensors for energy usage. This is no longer the preferred approach. Integrations using this approach should turn this data into standalone sensors.

This is important because Home Assistant is going to introduce home energy management (HEM) in 2021.8. HEM will be able to consume the data if it is exposed as standalone sensors.

To make sure that the sensors that represent total kWh is usable for HEM, set state_class to STATE_CLASS_TOTAL_INCREASING. See sensor documentation for more information.

Will the separate energy sensors be added for Edimax?

[peterb99]

when will the energy and power data of edimax be implemented ? The current EDIMAX document page in home assistant still shows code examples that do not work.
