core: Melcloud reporting wrong energy
The problem
Melcloud is sometimes reporting wrong energy consumption. Looking in melcloud app gives, for example, 17kWh for the day 1 of march of 2022. But sensor in HA shows approx 3kWh.
Can be temporary solved by cutting the power to the heat pump, but will return to reporting wrong consumption after a while again.

Additional information
I noticed that some time ago, end of last year maybe, the melcloud integration was responding faster for changes made in HA. Don’t know if that has something to du with it.

The same issue has been reported here: vilppuvuorinen/pymelcloud#17
It looks a lot like some sort of a meter reading correction being applied to the numbers returned by the MELCloud API. Either the correction math needs some looking into or the number is entirely useless. At least applying a simple multiplier does not seem to do the trick.
Any ideas are welcome.
