History Graph as Image (for Telegram

Configuration
1

Hi,

I dont allow access to my HA instance from the outside, and so instead make heavy use of a polling only telegram bot. One of this things I would love to access is the recent history for devices as a graph. Im guessing that the way this might would would be to make an image and then send that. Is there any known way to do this? (Im on hass.io).

Thanks.

I’ve not done it myself but you may be able to use Grafana to generate bitmap graphs form the HA database

Hi! Did you find a solution? I am facing the same problem.

Im afraid not. I just switched to home assistant cloud and now I just look at the graphs…

i know this is an old thread, but i wondered if someone has come up with a solution for this in the meantime (without setting up grafana)

I’ve built on @raffler’s solution and started sending a power graph to my telegram.

I read all the posts here after looking for a solution like that for a very long time (In my case I wanted to send the image of sensor history as a whatsapp notification, but it’s the same concept).
I ended up with a much simpler solution, you basically export the sensor information to Google Sheets, the Sheet creates a graph and the graph can have a link you can access which is basically an image. This works beautifully and is very easy to set up. I included a step-by-step guide here:

Still to much of a cludge for me to bother implementing.
