ApexChart for Octopus Agile (etc) prices

Continuing the discussion from ApexCharts card - A highly customizable graph card:

Went through the linked thread looking for this. Eventually found the contribution above

Thought I’d break it out so it might be more easily found for others. This is for a chart for Octopus Agile (etc) prices using the Octopus HACS integration.

Thanks @ppmt for the pointer. It was tricky to find! I adjusted it to suit what I wanted, but that is easy enough with this card!

Of course that will break with the updated Agile integration which changes where the values are stored.
If you use the newly updated code, duplicate the series filed with the next day rates and then you will get the full 24 hours.

Yes, I noticed that so didn’t upgrade the integration!

I’ll update the post once I update both which will be easier with that, so many thanks :smile:

Im new to HA but am struggling with both examples above.

In example 1 I swap out the sensor for my own but the graph doesnt get populated.

In example 2 I see that its using events but I dont have an event set up, could you perhaps elaborate on how to do this?

This is great - saved me loads of effort!

Worth noting, that all the duplication can be removed by use of “all_series_config”:
