I have setup some plant sensors that publish data by mqtt which works fine, the data updates as it should, I get warnings when the moisture is too low etc, but I am having trouble showing the history in some history-graph cards. Any idea where to start?
configuration.yaml:
plant:
Dracaena marginata:
sensors:
moisture: sensor.plant_1_moisture
battery: sensor.plant_1_battery
brightness: sensor.plant_1_brightness
min_moisture: 20
ui-lovelace.yaml:
type: history-graph
title: Dracaena marginata
entities:
- sensor.plant_1_moisture

What version of HA are you on? There were problems with history and sensors on 0.80.x.
Running 0.81.2 at the moment.

I have the same issue - using a few xiaomi plant sensors via plantgateway and mqtt.
Just added a new sensor - config same as previous, and this one now has history. The others dont.
version 0.82.1
Yeah, I noticed the same. But after a few days history disappeared on the new ones I added too…

just checked - yup - gone.
Guess I’ll need to start learning how to debug.

did you hide the mqtt sensors for the plant in the UI? If yes, no history will be stored.
check if the plant sensors have that attribute (and remove it, if yes):
hidden: true
You are absolutely correct! Out of old habit I have been hiding sensors, didn’t catch that. Works as it should now, thanks alot

OK - But how do I stop the sensors being shown on default page?
(and any idea why the plant cards don’t show the current value until plantgateway does an update - even though i have the MQTT sensors set to force_update = true
Might be because of missing retain flag.

nope. retain is set by plantgateway, and MQTT sensors set to force_update = true
