Display MQTT value as chart, not bars

Configuration
1

I’m experimenting with Zanzito to try and use an old Android phone as a brightness sensor.

I’d like to get a feel for what range looks dark to me so that I can build an automation based on that.

But the MQTT sensor - when I click on it in the HAS interface - displays a bar chart with values, rather than the X/Y plot that some sensors display.

Is there a way to affect the display of that chart?

My MQTT configuration is:

  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Light Sensor"
    state_topic: "zanzito/device/ct406_light_sensor"
    qos: 0

Just add unit_of_measurement to your sensor’s configuration
