For the form settings you can save units to new keys.
This how it was before (and can still be used):
[
{
"order": 0,
"label": null,
"variables": [
{
"order": 0,
"label": "Unit",
"type": "string",
"min": null,
"max": null,
"form": "select",
"key": "unit",
"default_value": "f",
"required": true,
"values": [
{ "value": "f", "label": "°F", "short": "°F" },
{ "value": "c", "label": "°C", "short": "°C" }
]
}
]
}
]
Individual channels:
[
{
"order": 0,
"label": null,
"variables": [
{
"order": 0,
"label": "Temperature Unit",
"type": "string",
"min": null,
"max": null,
"form": "select",
"key": "child.3.unit",
"default_value": "f",
"required": true,
"values": [
{ "value": "f", "label": "°F", "short": "°F" },
{ "value": "c", "label": "°C", "short": "°C" }
]
},
{
"order": 1,
"label": "Probe Unit",
"type": "string",
"min": null,
"max": null,
"form": "select",
"key": "child.7.unit",
"default_value": "f",
"required": true,
"values": [
{ "value": "f", "label": "°F", "short": "°F" },
{ "value": "c", "label": "°C", "short": "°C" }
]
}
]
}
]
"key": "child.3.unit"
where 3 is the channel
the priority is:
1. properties.child.X.unit
2. properties.unit (if it is a valid unit for the sensor)
3. the unit marked as "default" for the capability if the sensor has console capability
4. sensor.unit, not sure where it is defined, but might be the standard unit API returns
5. no unit ("null" unit is also not shown)
