Proposed change
Rather than requesting power data directly from the recorder, a new web API is added to the energy integration which provides access to the power data. Update the frontend to use that.
The new API allows performing more complex operations in the backend when fetching power data. Initially this is set up to mix in long-term statistics data if short term statistics data is requested but not available due to age.
Refer to the corresponding core PR home-assistant/core#160000
Type of change
Additional information
This suggested approach also opens a future possibility to correct for power data having the wrong polarity in the future - polarity correction could be performed as part of the new API in the back-end rather than the front-end.
