Getting similar issue after upgrading Home Assistant to 2024.10.1
Added the fields into Configuration
Now how do I read them?
Hello,
With the new version of the integration, you have to choose the feeds via a selector. If you did not have the ONLY_INCLUDE_FEEDID param in your yaml conf, it does not import actually any feeds…you will also have to rename the entities manually so that not to loose your stats cf :
Sorry for that
There is a thread with some info here :

So which of the following
will give me the
power being used in kWh from Electric Consumption Currently and per current day
Heat output in kWh for currently and current day
Been through them all and none make any sense. Let alone if I was not here and my mom and dad had the same system and they could not get it to work either. They don’t do computers. Worrying it changes and breaks like that.
Bonus points if I can report usage nicely in a chart per day over periods like Weekly, Monthly, Yearly.
I used to just go into my home assistant and could see that here
Maybe the fourth one, electric_Power_kWh and heatmeter_Power_kwh…they are both cumulative energy feeds so they contain per day consumption
For the current electric consumption, i would say electric_Power and heatmeter_Power
Sorry again but this is a free software and i am not paid by homeassistant. The initial design of the integration was problematic and i had to cope with the rules homeassistant has edicted. This was the price to pay to modernize the integration. The other choice was to leave it in yaml mode which is deprecated and not the way to go as decided by the homeassistant team. From times to times, they deactivate integrations in yaml mode with very few users, which was the case for the emoncms integration…
No need to justify that your integration is not of polished product quality, after all you’re doing this in your free time. I think most of us are very happy we have this integration at all - so thank you for that. Home Assistant in itself is not yet anything would install for anyone else but myself because stuff tends to break.
Maybe we could do a little writeup on how to do the setup and link the appropriate feeds with HA’s energy dashboard and pin this to the top if the thread. I’d de happy to contribute.

Excellent idea 
the documentation of the integration is here Emoncms - Home Assistant
it can be edited through github and really improved as it was reported to be very raw (cf The configuration help is too terse · Issue #35191 · home-assistant/home-assistant.io · GitHub)
Not sure that the dashboard showed by @JustinUK is the energy dashboard. Must be something else but i dont know what ?
it is just pulling these two values from Open Energy Monitor, highlighted in the red box.
I get daily value and current usage at the time.
Thank you.
For the daily use you have to create extra utility meter helpers that take the total accumulated energy use and provided heat and then reset at midnight. You’re not getting the dailies directly out of the integration.
