Somone reported the same error to home assistant. it was closed as it is not part of HA neither mqtt integration.
home-assistant/core#112642

[Koky05]

@botihu they have right because it is maintained by ebusd file mqtt-hassio.cfg especially by part of type_map. There is defined domain and class, units come from .csv files decoded mostly by _templates.csv

[john30]

this is a matter of correcting the definition of the message, especially the unit, e.g. in
bai.0010007508_inc.tsp:463 or bai.0010007508.inc:96 and friends
