Seeking help on setting up a sensor that imports data from thingspeak and into a statistics sensor on Home Assistant

I’m having a little bit of trouble with this. My configurations.yaml looks like this:

      - platform: rest
        name: Thingspeak
        json_attributes:
          - field1
          - field2
          - field3
        resource: https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/HIDDEN_CHANNEL_NUMBER/feeds/last.json?api_key=HIDDIN_CHANNEL_API_KEY
        value_template: '{{ value_json.created_at }}'
      - platform: template
        sensors:
          thingspeak_temperature15min:
            friendly_name: 'Temperature(degC)'
            value_template: '{{ state_attr("sensor.Thingspeak", "field1") | round(1)}}'
            device_class: temperature
            unit_of_measurement: 'degC'
            
      - platform: statistics
        name: "statistics_temperature15min"
        entity_id: sensor.thingspeak_temperature15min
        precision: 2

Now, the sensor.thingspeak_temperature15min is working and visible in the entities card:

Great. Perfect. Buuuuutt, my statistics sensor remains elusive:

I cannot get it too appear or plot in the statistics card. I’ve done something wrong. Before you ask, I have already tried restarting the HA server (several times) and reloading the config file manually.

Frustratingly, the sensor.statistics_temperature15min IS working when I view the entity itself. But the Graph Card still doesn’t work :frowning:

Any ideas?

No one has any ideas? I’m stuck :thinking:
