Why was the practical sentence about "spikey consumption" and the left method removed from the integration docs? #39449

Hi there,

I noticed that in commit 8b8740e, the integration documentation included the following practical explanation:

"In case you have an appliance which produces spikey consumption (like an on/off electrical boiler) you should opt for the left method to get accurate readings."

This sentence was later replaced in 2dfc7ae by a more abstract variant:

"In case you expect that your source sensor will provide several subsequent values that are equal, you should opt for the left method to get accurate readings."

Eventually, it was completely removed in commit 204fc905.


This original sentence was very helpful for users with real-world cases (e.g. electric boilers, heaters, washing machines) that draw power in sharp on/off bursts. It made the left method much easier to understand in practical terms.

Was there a specific reason for removing this line?
Would you consider adding it back (perhaps slightly revised) to make the method usage clearer for less technical users?
