Hi folks,
I have a simple solar setup in my garden with an ESP8266 monitoring voltage of a lead acid battery and reporting it to Home Assistant. The problem is that the battery voltage fluctuates greatly due to the solar controller using PWM to change the battery. So I can read 12.6v followed by 13.8v with the 1st reading being the battery float voltage and the 2nd one being the battery charging voltage.
I am trying to graph the battery voltage changes day-to-day with Mini Graph Card (code below). This code works poorly because it takes the minimal value of each day which does not bring much insight.
What I am trying to implement instead is to have a graph that would capture my battery voltage as of the specific time/period in the day, say, between 2am and 2.10am, when there is no charging going on, but I struggle to implement it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
