I’m a new Home-Assistant convert and have installed the custom integration Open-Meteo Solar Forecast to try to predict if we should charge up our house-battery overnight or let it be filled with sunshine!
I’m confused with the sensors in the integration - I can see where I can get the predicted total solar generation for today, tomorrow and up to 6 days after that and I can see where I can get the current predicted solar power and the power for the next hour - but I can’t see how I can plot the predicted solar generation as a function of time for the next (say) 12 hours. The closest I can get is the current power and the history showing the last 24 hours - using an apex chart:

I’ve scanned through the general topic on this integration but couldn’t see anything about this - although there are quite a few images showing plots of the predicted generation - so it must be possible!
Any pointers would be very much appreciated!
