By changing the device_class attribute to be "wind_speed" or "precipitation", this allows the lovelace UI in HomeAssistant to automatically do unit conversions through the UI. I tested these changes locally and they worked after removing the device from the MQTT integration and running this python script to re-preform the autodiscovery.
