I have a goal of displaying external data so that I don’t need to include my weather data into homeassistant (and can have a long term graph) and today we succeeded in doing so with a custom web server. But I do get interesting results displayed.
Using (almost) the same data via mqtt sensor works like it should
This is the complete code of the data generator card:

Before anyone suggests it, yes, the same problem happens even if I use the sensors corresponding to the temperature sensor, I just replaced them with sensor.time because in the long run I want to run completely via data generator and I needed to test if it works with any random sensor.
I have another graph using the same code and web backend with similar temperatures and on thet one it displays correctly so far.
The webserver used for testing is not online most of the time, so if anyone tries to test the example ot, it most likely won’t work.
Anyone got any idea how to force the curves to display correctly? I did try to manually set a minimum for the yaxis, but that only moved the yaxis, but still didn’t render the curves down to the axis.
