I have a shelly dimmer and i want to add it’s power consumption into a bar chart in grafana.
I draw the value of the power in many diagrams but after i had used bar chart, i got an error which is (Bar charts requires a string field)

Any Updates? I am stuck on the same issue

Obviously, grafana has no issue doing bar charts.
Maybe show your definition?

@koying could you tell me what “Bar charts requires a string field” means? Where can I add the String field?

I don’t know. That’s why I ask for your definition to have a clue of where that could come from.

Grafana is not a good choice.
I found a good card which is a bar card, it helped me a lot to customize my card.
