Dear developers (hope this will be read and responded by one of the developers):
I have a payed subscription and appreciate your work enormously. One thing I have never understood in Home Assistant till today is the poor implementation of the device value history graph function. It still seems to be underdeveloped (prehistoric) compared to the rest of all great monthly released Home Assistant features.
To me the history graph or data tables seems to be one of the key functions to read and interpret our smart home data but it’s now too basic and fails often. Please take a look at domoticz how they did this. Just to get an impression.
What’s in my opinion could be improved in favour of the majority of Home Assistant users?
- Zoom in/out (pinch/scroll to zoom on IOS/scroll to zoom to decrease/increase the graph time scale. Now users must make too many steps and many clicks for selecting for example the last hour of received data. Unfortunately totally unusable for daily analyse of entity values.
- Make it possible to point at any position above the graph line to show the data. Now on IOS it requires you to EXACTLY touch the plotted graph line to show the values. This is terrible. Even worse: When you want to see the value in a graph the shown values are exactly displayed under your finger tips. I now need to redo my touch selection min. 5 times to make sure it shows the correct point in time and I touched really the lowest value. It’s not usable like this and so not user friendly.
- Make it possible to show with one button click the RAW data in a table. Such as time and value in per row.
- Make it possible to sort values in the displayed data table eg. the highest/lowest, descending/… in last day, last hour
- Make it possible to choose a second/third sensor the present two or more values in one char such temperature/humidity/pressure/other sensor data.
- Make it possible to show different graphs such as BAR charts and other.
- Any other of the forum users has a better idea?
Your respond to this request is much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.
