2021.9.0: More energy, USB discovery, template

Last release we introduced Home Energy management, and we are so happy with all the reactions and response we have received! In this version we have added some much requested features to make it even more useful, also a lot more integrations now have support for it.

Personally I also really like the new long term statistics and statistics card introduced last release, and I’m really happy that in this release we will be able to use it for a lot more sensors. Enjoy another great release! Be sure to tune into the 2021.9 Release Party on YouTube later today (9:00 PM CET) to learn more about this release!
