It was specifically the group type domain which did not have an option flow yet. It never had an option flow for this specific group type.
Implemented that with #2973

I created some entities manually for lights that weren't automatically found and I'm sure i had to add them to the group, but now I can't find that option.

Looking at the diagnostics again I see following information saved on the config entry:

"data": {
        "_energy_entity": "sensor.lights_energy",
        "create_energy_sensor": true,
        "create_utility_meters": false,
        "domain": "light",
        "group_member_sensors": [
          "01JCC27H0JMSF5DTRESBP0RSPN",
          "01JCC1RHB6472MTJGYT465MBYC",
          "01JCC5E9MB5PM24WNVD6EYX4XT",

          "01JCC1KMZBWG7VW9HVKZWSCQV2",
          "01JCC5FWMK5VQYQEQJDJZ0XP5F"
        ],
        "group_type": "domain",
        "name": "Lights",
        "sensor_type": "group",
        "unique_id": "powercalc_domaingroup_light"
      },

However I'm unsure how you ended up with group_type domain and group_member_sensors.
group_member_sensors should only be set when group_type is custom which is the group type for standard groups, where you add sensors to manually.

Did you maybe add new sensors to the group by choosing group in the configuration wizard?
If yes, that would be the bug as only standard groups should be selectable there not domain groups.

[blair287]

I'm not sure tbh which way I did it was too long ago lol all i know was at some point I added some devices manually as they didn't have power profiles. However they are also lights.

[bramstroker]

I think that would be the reason.
When you setup a new virtual power sensor you have the option to assign it to a group directly.

Currently it's also possible to choose groups from other group types than standard there. So you could also choose domain group here, which you probably did previously. After setup powercalc will update the group to have that group member added in group_member_sensors.
However for domain groups this won't have any effect, as it does not look at this setting.
So that's also why you can't edit members for this group in the options.

I have fixed this now with #3009 so you can only select standard groups in the dialog, and not the other group types.
