I can confirm having just installed this integration tonight that I am also getting the same errors. I'm running on:

Home Assistant 2023.2.2
Supervisor 2023.01.1
Operating System 9.5
Frontend 20230202.0 - latest

Looking at this, it would appear this is due to the "v" in the version number that's picked up. if the "v" can be stripped from the front of the text then that would fix this issue I think. I'm not sure how to do that, but I'm sure someone cleverer than me can do it!!

So when the data gets pulled through, the values are coming in like this:

{"software":"v1.8.12","timestamp":"2022-06-11T20:54:53Z",............etc, etc

Then from line 40 in sensor.py, the following section creates the sensor:

    "name": "Smart Meter IHD Software Version",
    "device_class": None,
    "unit_of_measurement": None,
    "state_class": SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT,
    "entity_category": EntityCategory.DIAGNOSTIC,
    "icon": "mdi:information-outline",
    "func": lambda js: js["software"],  

On the last line, is there anything that can be done at this point to drop the first letter of the "software" value??

@Clam58 I've seen this too and found the following from a spot of Googling.....
home-assistant/core#86780
According to one person on here they say "Looks like state_class for monetary can only be total which I think makes sense".

I tried replacing the value "state_class": SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT, with "state_class": SensorStateClass.TOTAL, on line 123 as well as the other sensors reporting an error, but that didn't seem to work. However, changing it to "state_class": None, does work. What the impact of this is elsewhere, I'm not sure.

Also found that someone has mentioned a similar problem on the DCC version of this repo:
HandyHat/ha-hildebrandglow-dcc#304

I've also found a couple of my own template sensors with this issue too.
