Describe the bug

Several RCT sensor values w.r.t. energy production have state class "total_increasing", but their states are reported negative or not strictly increasing. I noticed these warnings yesterday when my RCT system was running a battery capacity tests, i.e. charging the battery to 100% (if needed with power from the grid) and then draining the battery to 0%. The system does that regularly about once a month.

In the screenshot, there are also other decreasing events. These probably come from times when the battery is empty (its winter after all) and needs to pull power from the grid for its internal logic.

Thanks a lot for reporting! This sounds similar to #202.
