I have sensors upload/download. How create similar card?
Image taken from here Netdata - Home Assistant
Here is my network monitopring dashboard, that has charts simililar to what you want to achieve:
And here is the code for just the chart part of monitor card:
- type: custom:apexcharts-card
update_interval: 5s
graph_span: 5m
show:
loading: false
apex_config:
chart:
height: 250px
grid:
show: true
strokeDashArray: 0
borderColor: '#444444'
position: back
xaxis:
lines:
show: true
yaxis:

Hope this helps to start…
This is a cool option ).
Sad that “mini-graph-card” does not have it & users have to use card-mod to achieve same.
Hi @mirekmal,
The information of the access point shown just above the Wifi throughput, is that a custom card or did you use cardmod?
All the cards are standard available cards (text-diver, markdown, apex chart) just put together into vertical stack. Here is full card code for one device:
type: custom:vertical-stack-in-card
cards:
- type: custom:text-divider-row
text: AP-GROUND
- type: markdown
content: >
<ha-icon icon="mdi:information-variant"></ha-icon> Mesh Node: {{
states('sensor.draytek_ap_g_model') }}
<ha-icon icon="mdi:alert-outline"></ha-icon> FW Ver: {{
states('sensor.draytek_ap_g_firmware') }}
<ha-icon icon="mdi:clock-check-outline"></ha-icon> Uptime: {{
states('sensor.draytek_ap_g_uptime') }}

Tricky part are actual throughput sensors and device info - for all om my devices I use SNPM monitoring to get this data.
Thanks, this looks great!
I did not find some properties in the documentation, for example “xaxis”… when they are deleted, at first glance nothing changes…

apexchart-card implements full apex graphics library that is very extensive. Not everything is documented in card documentation. For more advanced functions you can refer to official apex documentation, where you can find tons of additional settings. In particular option you refers to is causing vertical lines (for xaxis) to be shown, but true is also default value. If you change this to false you will see the difference. So it here probably as remnant from the time I created this chart and was playinf with different settings.
I love your network monitoring dashboard cards!
I have something similar, just a little more basic (using snmp with mini chart cards and sensor groups) and would like to enhance mine with some of your design.
However, what is the purpose of the ‘- entity: input_number.zero_value’ and can I see your sensor and template config for this?
Well, I just use it to anchow y-scale to zero values. I noticed that if there is no zero value in the dataset, apex chart has tendency to shift the scale by fraction of unit. Also this gives a solid line at zero value for reference.
