@Ildar_Gabdullin, yes…
Is it possible to graph line and bars on the same graph?
According to this:
not possible to have both line & bar graphs ((
Actually I prefer not to use a bar graph.
As I understood, a value for each DISPLAYED point is calculated dependingly on:
- hours_to_show;
- points_per_hour;
- aggregate_func;
- sensor’s value.
It is an interpolation.
For the bar graph there are less displayed points than for the line graph.
That means that the bar graph may not reflect a real curve.
My proposal - use a line power consumption graph + line average graph.

can anyone help me explain this in simple english / dutch. I also have solar panels, and would like to see my weekly consumption in + & -. so green if my net consumption is lower than 0, and red if it is above 0.

How to style if secondary Y-axis is present:
Let’s add one more graph and set a style to labels:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
name: Temp
show_state: true
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_2_co2
name: CO2
show_state: true
y_axis: secondary
show:
labels: true
name: false
icon: false
average: false
extrema: false
labels_secondary: true
card_mod:
style: |
.graph .graph__container .graph__labels {
color: red;
}
Also we can style a color for the legend:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
name: Temp
show_state: true
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_2_co2
name: CO2
show_state: true
y_axis: secondary
show:
labels: true
name: false
icon: false
average: false
extrema: false
labels_secondary: true
card_mod:
style: |
.graph .graph__legend {
color: red;
}
Now let’s tune up colors for Y-axis & legend for every graph:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
name: Temp
show_state: true
color: red
state_adaptive_color: true
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_2_co2
name: CO2
show_state: true
color: green
state_adaptive_color: true
y_axis: secondary
show:
labels: true
name: false
icon: false
average: false
extrema: false
labels_secondary: true
card_mod:
style: |
.graph .graph__container .graph__labels.--primary.flex {
color: red;
}
.graph .graph__container .graph__labels.--secondary.flex {
color: green;
}
.graph .graph__legend div:nth-child(1) {
color: red;
}
.graph .graph__legend div:nth-child(2) {
color: green;
}
Changing font-size:
For each element:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
show:
labels: true
average: true
extrema: true
card_mod:
style: |
.header.flex .name.flex {
font-size: 10px;
}
.states.flex .state .state__value.ellipsis {

align-self: center;
}
.states.flex .state .state__uom.ellipsis {
font-size: 18px;
align-self: center;
}
.info.flex .info__item .info__item__type {
font-size: 12px;
}
.info.flex .info__item .info__item__value {
font-size: 18px;
}
.info.flex .info__item .info__item__time {
font-size: 8px;
}
.graph .graph__container .graph__labels {
font-size: 18px;
}
For legend:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
name: Temp
show_state: true
- entity: sensor.cleargrass_2_co2
name: CO2
show_state: true
y_axis: secondary
show:
labels: true
name: false
icon: false
average: false
extrema: false
labels_secondary: true
card_mod:
style: |
.graph .graph__legend {
font-size: 8px;
}
Hiding dates for MAX & MIN data:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
show:
labels: true
extrema: true
card_mod:
style: |
.info.flex .info__item .info__item__time {
display: none;
}
Hiding MAX or MIN data:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
show:
labels: true
extrema: true
card_mod:
style: |
.info.flex div.info__item:nth-child(1) {
color: transparent;
}
.info.flex div.info__item:nth-child(2) {
color: red;
}
Another example - how to show “avg” & “max” labels:
type: custom:mini-graph-card
entities:
- sensor.xiaomi_cg_1_temperature
show:
labels: true
average: true
extrema: true
style: |
.info.flex div.info__item:nth-child(1) {
display: none;
}
.info.flex div.info__item:nth-child(2) {
text-align: left;
}
Hiding a unit for special cases:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- sensor.cleargrass_1_temp
show:
labels: true
card_mod:
style: |
.states.flex .state .state__uom.ellipsis {
{% if states('sensor.cleargrass_1_temp') in ['unavailable','unknown'] %}
display: none;
{% endif %}
}
state_map:
- value: unavailable
label: Sensor off
- value: unknown
label: Sensor off

I’m busy with integration my energy consumption and costs. Is there any way to combine the red and blue bars? Or to hide the blue bar, but only show the value when hovering over one of the red bars?

Is there a way to group by something less than 1 hour?
I am tracking energy costs, i have 30 minute updates on the tariff but the graph can only group by 1 hour intervals which makes it slightly incorrect.
Any tips on how to get this graph right
The last bar is too low compared to the one to the left. I assume it’s because it’s using that bar as lowest point (hence the 4.41 value on the left’
I made a template to combine current tariff1 and tariff2 value of today.
#Combine Energy peak/offpeak
- platform: template
sensors:
daily_energy_power_total:
friendly_name: 'Daily Energy Peak/Offpeak Total'
entity_id:

How often is your sensor updated?
My sensor.daily_energy_power_total updates every few seconds whenever there is a change.
The day has passed and now yesterdays bar has increased a lot now. Am I correct to say that the current day(bar) doesn’t grow over the day but gets populated when the day has passed?
As far as I understood, the "group_by" feature works like this (@kalkih please correct me):
- There is an array of values of some sensor (updated every XXX seconds/minutes).
- A usual LINE graph shows a curve reflecting every value (+ some interpolation dependingly on
"scan_interval"&"points_per_hour"&"hours_to_show"). - Grouping per hour: for every hour an “Arithmetic mean” is calculated (sum of values within this hour / number of values). This calculated value then is displayed in the graph as a value for this particular hour.
To investigate any strange behaviour with "group_by" I recommend you not to use grouping first; then if everything looks fine - use "group_by".

I am working on electrical energy monitoring with a combination of the Riemann sun integration, the utility meter integration and the mini graph custom cards. I get my energy readings through Smappee energy monitor.
All works pretty smooth within the range of a week. In the bar charts data per hour is fine and grouped per hour or date works perfectly. However once you go beyond that range problems start.
Could the hours_to_show changed to time_to_show with a selection of hours, day, week, month, year (like the utility meter also counts the data).
And the same for grouped_by not only hour or date but calendar_week, calendar_month or calendar_year?
There is the option for interval but I couldn’t find any description on how to use that.
I read quite some threads facing similar issues. I think it would create great flexibility.
Finally I like to say I like the cards a lot. I don’t understand why this is not replacing the standard history graph in Lovelace!
For deep serious analysis some people prefer to use a software like Grafana with it’s rich tools.
I have tried that too but I found it too complicated and I couldnt get it going unfortunately.
Note that by default the database is purged every 24 days. Probably the default DB engine is not good for longer periods
24 days in itself is enough. I would aggregate the data like its done in the utility meter.
Since we are talking… Do you know how the grouped_by: interval works. I can’t find any example.

My mistake. By default DB is purged every night and keeps data for 10 days.
Would you mind sharing your configuration for this? I like the look.
I believe I’ve just recreated it:

edit: make float in temperature comparison, otherwise it compares the length of the string.
