I don't think we need to distinct between different types at this interface.
If this needs to be handled this should be done inside the exporter or the external tools itself.
I don't know much about prometheus, but for EMONCMS or MQTT the type does not matter.
For MQTT a name (aka topic) is required to publish data.
The mapping between a name to a type should be done external.
Why a visualisation of total accumulated power consumption on a gauge should be false? We can't know!
I was more thinking about a time stamp for reference on the interface.
This makes more sense.
