V1.0.32 is now up with the new entity info panel integration. It also adds monthly intervals for total increasing values (nice when combined with long term statistics) and fixes an annoying LTS bug.

By default, info panel integration is disabled. You will get the normal, native HA info panels. To enable the override, open the pulldown menu on a history explorer card and select Enable history info panel:

Once enabled, all entity history info panels throughout HA will now use the history explorer card, with all its interactive functions. You can disable the integration by selecting the above menu option again. You do not have to restart HA or anything, all is on the fly.

Once the info panel option is enabled, you can directly start using the new info panels, no configuration required. Optionally you can customize them by adding YAML under the infoPanel key on the configuration of any history explorer card on your dashboard. Most config options that work with the normal history explorer custom card will also work for the info panel. Notably, entityOptions and stateColors. Check the readme.

Example:

infoPanel:
  lineMode: stepped
  entityOptions:
    humidity:
      color: green
    temperature:
      fill: rgba(0,0,0,0)
    energy:
      color:
        '0': '#3e95cd'
        '2': '#b5342d'
        '0.5': '#66a61e'

If you don’t want a history explorer custom card on your dashboard ( :cry: ), but you still want the new info panel overrides, then you can remove the custom card once you turned on the info panel feature and optionally did the custom configuration.

The info panel override feature works with most versions of HA since 2022.4, you don’t need the most recent HA installed (but it’s obviously supported too !).

As usual, feedback welcome !
