Anything the user creates in Home Assistant should use "Create …", not "Add …" following the Home Assistant Design guidelines .

The Utility Meter helper is one of the few remaining Helper types that still uses "Add":

In the description above in the screen shot "energy" is used to refer to electricity. But "energy" covers "gas" and "heating" as well, so this is misleading.

Therefore it should say "electricity, gas, water and heating" instead.

Changing this for consistency with translations, too:
For example in German we'd definitely say "Strom" (electricity) here.

Proposed change

Replace "Add" with "Create" in the headline.
Replace "energy" with "electricity" in the description.

Anything the user creates in Home Assistant should use "Create …", not "Add …". This fixes the headline and makes it consistent with the description just below it.

"Energy" covers "Gas" and "Heating" as well, what's meant here is "Electricity", changes this for proper translations, too.

Based on?

Please note, this adds an integration... which we call "add" everywhere.

"Energy" covers "Gas" and "Heating" as well, what's meant here is "Electricity".

Incorrect. The use of this integration is not limited to electricity (although a common use case).

@frenck It's part of the Home Assistant Design guidelines
I already did half a dozen PR today based on that, so sorry for me getting lazy to include the link.

The line "Create Utility Meter" is the headline of the Helper this creates. It is not related to adding the integration.

You misunderstood my explanation regarding "energy" vs. "electricity": The suggested change does not remove "gas" and "heating", it just changes "energy" into "electricity" as this is what you get from your utility.

Energy is the overarching term, the meters are for electricity, gas, district heating (or water).
The suggested change to the description reflects that.

See the string below the headline in the screenshot.
