Help - Idiot on Board (I want ApexCharts)

Installation
1

Hi, I have home assistant installed and running on Rasp Pi. I have loads of things connected and dashboards doing what I want.

But then I wanted a dual Y-axis graph and came across ApexCharts. Then I get lost installing it.

I can edit YAML but can’t work out what I need where.

Any post I find seems to talk about Lovelace and HACS, I don’t seem to have either of these things. Nor can I can find Configuration menu.

How do I get what I need? (Apex Charts)

On my settings>about it says the following:

  • Core2024.10.4
  • Supervisor2024.10.3
  • Operating System13.2
  • Frontend20241002.4

Cheers
Dave

HACS is the Home Assistant Community Store that provides a mechanism for installing and managing community integration and custom dashboard cards. You can learn about installing and using HACS here. Once installed, you can use HACS to install the Apex Charts custom card.

Lovelace is the old name for dashboards. You have a default dashboard called Overview and you can create your own.

Awesome, had read lots of stuff but not realised Lovelace was a legacy name, no wonder I got confused.
Got HACs installed, and then installed APEXCards, I had installed manually fine. The eventually issue resolved with the where to install the resources: line which is no longer in configuration.YAML but in the dashboard resources section.
But your info definitely got me closer.
thanks
