Shelly Pro 4PM: Missing energy returned entity, total energy wrong

[andyboeh]

The problem

The Shelly Pro 4PM can measure energy and power in both directions. However, only the total energy sensor is exposed in HA, which includes the returned energy - the energy calculated is thus wrong and jumps around. If the returned energy sensor was exposed, it would be easy to correctly calculate the consumed energy.

This is similar to #135394, but the "ret_aenergy" sub key needs to be added to the key "switch".

The integration creates returned energy sensors, I don’t understand your problem.

[andyboeh]

I cannot find any returned energy sensor, neither activated nor disabled.
As far as I've understood the code, it creates a returned energy sensor for the "pm1" key. However, the Pro 4 PM does not have a pm1 key, it reports the returned energy in the "switch" key.

See my GetStatus.json file:

I just saw that you added that 3 weeks ago in #145490. Obviously, this hasn't made it into 2025.5.3. Sorry for the noise.
