Integration ViCare: selected source ist "heatpump" but comsumption is shown in "gas" ??

The problem

Hi,
I am not sure about if this is a real issue or just cosmetic, but whatever type of heating source I choose (auto/heatpump), the result is that the entities are shown as consumption of "gas"?? Maybe this can be fixed by changing from gas to energy in total, or the source type heatpump should trigger that the entities are named kWh instead of gas.
I know that I can rename them but this is realy the very last option I would expect.
I also know that the integration realized that it is an heatpump because of the compressor information.
The value of the data itself seems to be fine.

I managed to include a heatpump myself now, and I think it's just a naming issue that we should be able to fix easily.

Hi,
you can change the shown name of the entities in HA by yourself. The name of the entities itself cant be changed by user.
I did it this way and shortend the text to. Create dashbaord, edit dashbord, klick on the pencil on the right side of the entities and put in the name you want to show up under "name".

Hi,
Du kannst die angezeigten Namen selbst ändern in HA. Die Quellen solltest Du nicht umbenennen, der nächste Update dreht alles zurück. Ich habe den Text auch gekürzt, wollte keine Romane sondern die wesentlichen Ausküfte.
Leg das Dashboard an, gehe auf bearbeiten und klick auf den Stift neben den Entitäten. Dort kannst Du bei "Name" das einsetzten was Du haben willst.

Hoffe es hilft....

As the sensors that were used for gas heatings are now used for heat pumps and others, I think it's nevertheless important to correct the naming. I opened a PR to do so. Feel free to verify & suggest changes.
