Smart Plug v2 and v3 - Reactive Power Sensor Negative Readings

[Roving-Ronin]

@athom-tech @tarontop

Have you tested this on a number of items including things like computers or clothes dryers etc being plugged into them?
Since adding in the Reactive Power sensor I'm noticing that some plugs, with these particular types of loads, when not being used (and drawing just a few watts of power) are getting negative reactive energy readings.

Wondering if the reactive sensor needs to have a filter added to it, rejecting negative readings? i.e.

    reactive_power:
      name: "Reactive Power"
      unit_of_measurement: var
      accuracy_decimals: 0   
      filters:
        - throttle_average: ${sensor_update_interval}
        - lambda: |-
            if (x < 0) {
              return 0;  // Ignore negative values and set to 0
            } else {
              return x;
            }

Yes, this is a known issue

OK thanks. Suggest leaving issue open, to allow future follow up (when CSE7766 component updated)?
