v2.6.1-beta.2

Changes
- Reverted
state_class = TOTAL_INCREASINGon the live sensor — only theeyeonwater:water_meter_*external statistic should appear in the Energy Dashboard. - The live
sensor.water_meter_*entity is now display-only again (nostate_class), so HA won't auto-compile statistics for it. unit_class=volumestill always set on external statistics metadata (beta.6 fix retained).
Why
Having both sensor.* and eyeonwater:* in the Energy Dashboard picker confused users. The eyeonwater:* external statistic provides accurate hourly data from the API. HA's built-in cost tracking (static price) only works with entity-backed statistics, but this trade-off is preferable to the confusion of two entries.
Note on cost tracking
Static price configuration in the Energy Dashboard requires an entity-backed statistic. With this release, users who need cost tracking will need to use a template sensor or automation. We are investigating better solutions.
