Eve Energy Strip HomeKit devices reporting wrong energy readings when Home Assistant is restarted

[xyz667]

The problem

I have two Eve Energy Strip HomeKit devices, which I am using with the homekit_controller integration. Both are working just fine. I am using their energy sensors (e.g. sensor.eve_energy_strip_d2a8_energy_kwh) in HA's energy dashboard, which is working flawlessly - almost...
The issue: Whenever I need to restart HA, the energy readings of the devices' energy sensor entities are showing absurd values, e.g. 622.22 kWh in one minute.
This might be caused by one faulty energy reading at the time of restart, see screenshot. Shouldn't the reading steadily increase and never decrease??
