ApexCharts card - A highly customizable graph card

Try different types, probably ‘state’ may do it…or check in the db how these are stored

Thanks, after looking into the db I guess my results make sense:


But how do I need to configure there sensors in order to have usable data for visualizations?

Can you elaborate:

try different types, probably ‘state’ may do it…

?

Which type do I change, sensor type, chart type, series type…? :slight_smile:

You entered ‘max’ but the ones on your sshot donot have a value in the max column, only state and sum…if you remove max you will see that Apex will come with a pop-up indicating the posisble values for this config…but the data must also comply

Hi @andrea.magnani01,

many thanks for sharing this - was exactly what I was searching for!

I have one small issue: When heating stops, the sensor is not available anymore, which works (can see in developer tools).

Unfortunately the graph does not recognize this accordingly:

Did you notice similar issues maybe or do you know what could be the reason for this?

Yeah, db did not contain mean, max nor min so that is why I figured the results I was seeing were logical as such. If there is not data, “N/A” is what you get. My confusion arised from the fact that I had read somewhere that for statistics you can only use mean, max, min. I somehow had also overlooked the porposal that editor is giving although I had looked at this screen for many times. I just missed the sum and state on the second line:

:sweat_smile:
Same goes for the documentation, there it was right in front of my eyes, but they were only seeing min, max, mean:

Anyhow, not it is perfectly clear and my chart looks like the way I expected. Thanks a lot for you help :+1:

Just to put it here, if someone is having same kind of problems:

  • if combining multiple y series with into on timeline, do not use transform. Try to use only original data values. I could use value transformation in data_generator -block

I love ApexCharts.
Sadly, the performance is horrible, at least on Firefox. Even with rather few data points, the fans of my laptop spin up quickly, when I open any page with such a card.

Has anyone been able to get “extend_to:” to work when using “data_generator:” ? i can’t get it to disappear no matter what I try

I have this working for some of my forecast graphs…extend_to: false works for me

How can I achieve having the y=0 aligned for the line charts?

Hi @jonasvath ,

I’m glad that my graph was useful to you!

Unfortunately I can’t make any useful suggestions seeing only an image: maybe I should see the code and how you sensors work…

But, if this can be useful to you, I’ve currently switched from that graph (apex chart) to another chart made with the following hacs integration: history explorer card.

I can paste here the code of my new graph, so that maybe you can try this different integration and configuration!

How it works

I’ve created the following template sensor in yaml:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: riscaldamento - app 9 - camera Andrea - grafico temperatura - sta riscaldando
        state: >
          {% if is_state_attr("climate.riscaldamento_app_9_camera_andrea_tado_homekit_termosifone_va3881777920","hvac_action","heating") -%}
            {{ states("sensor.temperatura_app_9_camera_andrea") }}
          {%- else -%}
            0
          {%- endif %}

The template sensor has the following values:

  • when tado is heating → the sensor has the same value of current temperature
  • when tado is not heating → the sensor has value 0

Then I’ve created the graph with the following code:

type: custom:history-explorer-card
cardName: Appartamento 9
graphs:
  - type: line
    title: Temperatura (arancione = sta riscaldando)
    entities:
      - entity: >-
          sensor.riscaldamento_app_9_camera_andrea_grafico_temperatura_sta_riscaldando
        name: sta riscaldando
        color: RGBA(255,161,80,0.5)
        fill: RGBA(255,161,80,0.5)
        width: 0
        process: |
          ( state > 0 ) ? state : "unavailable"
      - entity: sensor.temperatura_app_9_camera_andrea
        name: temperatura
        color: rgba(244, 209, 96, 1)
        width: 2
        fill: rgba(244, 209, 96, 0.2)
    options:
      showSamples: false
showCurrentValues: true
combineSameUnits: true
refresh:
  interval: 60
defaultTimeRange: 12h
defaultTimeOffset: 15m
header: hide
uiLayout:
  toolbar: bottom
  selector: hide
labelsVisible: false
labelAreaWidth: 35
tooltip:
  showDuration: true
showUnavailable: true
legendVisible: false
lineMode: curves
uiColors:
  buttons: rgba(0,0,0,0.05)


In the graph I’ve set two series:

  • a series showing current temperature (light yellow)
  • a serie showing the template sensor (darker yellow showing when Tado is heating) → with “process” option in the graph code I manipulate the data of this series so that: a) when the template sensor is > 0, in the graph I see the the serie in dark yellow; b) when the template sensor is = 0, the graph considers the series unavailable and nothing appears on the graph.

Change the chart_type to “radialBar” from “dounut”

Hi all,

any change someone can help me with the following:

I`m not very experienced with yaml code but like to create a pie chart from 1 single entity which changes

This entity is the operation mode from my ecodan heat pump
below is the yaml code:

case 0: return std::string("${stop}");
case 1: return std::string("${Warm water}");
case 2: return std::string("${heating}");
case 3: return std::string("${cooling}");
case 5: return std::string("${freeze_stat}");
case 6: return std::string("${legionella}");
default: return std::to_string(value);[/code}

I was tryiing to get a pie chart like below but no luck… (mine is in dutch)

type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 168h
experimental:
  color_threshold: true
header:
  show: true
  title: Fridge
  show_states: true
series:
  - entity: sensor.mitsubishi_werkings_mode
    show:
      extremas: true
    color_threshold:
      - value: 'Stop'
        color: grey
      - value: 'Verwarmen'
        color: orange
      - value: 'Ontdooien'

        color: red
      - value: 'Legionella'
        color: yellow
      - value: 'Koelen'
        color: blue

thx in advance

ps:

this is the default as is

Hi @andrea.magnani01,

I did the exact same thing like you with the apex chart.

But many thanks for your suggestion of the history explorer card, this works even better!

Have a great week! :slight_smile:

Hello @andrea.magnani01 and @Kertz1954,

please excuse me if I have sneaked into this thread :wink:
This is my first post in this forum and I took my first steps in Home Assistant a few days ago.
I have been using ioBroker for a few years and now I want to switch. I have been looking for your solution Andrea for a long time. Thank you very much for that. I would like to use this card to visualize my oil burner starts with the temperature of my water buffer tank. I would like to use this card to visualize my oil burner starts with the temperature of my water buffer tank.

I have edited the configuration.yaml as described by you and added the following code:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: heizungsdiagramm ## my sensor name
        state: "{{ states('sensor.node_1_input_8') | float }}" ## sensor outside temperature
        availability: "{{ states('sensor.node_1_output_8') | int}}" ## sensor oil burner status

Since I don’t need a target temperature, I have removed this section.
Here is my code from the card:

type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 12h
header:
  show: true
  title: Puffertemperatur
  show_states: true
  colorize_states: false
series:
  - entity: sensor.heizungsdiagramm

    opacity: 0.5
    show:
      in_header: false
      legend_value: false
    group_by:
      func: avg
      duration: 5m
  - entity: sensor.node_1_input_8
    name: Puffertemperatur

      name_in_header: false
      in_header: true
    group_by:
      func: avg
      duration: 5m

My problem now is that the card shows that the burner is running even though the burner is not running.

Do you have any idea what I have done wrong?

Thank you very much.

I apologize, because after a restart it suddenly works.

Is there anyone out there that could point me to the right runes to change the title size and have it central?

Hi,

here is my version of changing title aligment, size and color:

type: custom:apexcharts-card
card_mod:
  style:
    .: |
      div#header__title {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 14px;
        font-weight: bold;
        color: #ffffff !important;
      }
chart_type: donut
header:
  show: true
  title: Heizzeit pro Tag
  show_states: true
  colorize_states: true
apex_config:
...

Looks like this:

But could you a explain how you get the heating hours? My heating sensors have percent value between 0-100 to show how and how miuch heating is active and so I get not what I want.

Thanks, Steffen
