Why is my "max" helper resetting every day?

Hi,

on my dashboard I want to display the highest solar output/production that I’ve ever managed on a single day. I already have a helper that displays the daily solar production and that resets every day.

Now I’ve created a new helper

As you can see it resets every day. Is there a way to display my highest ever solar production?

Do the the entities it is comparing also reset at the same time? If they are all zero, then the max is also zero as this helper only shows the max for a group of sensors at that point in time.

For this to work you’ll need to use History stats but bear in mind this will only work for as many days as you have set in recorder (probably 7-10).

If you want a longer period, you might want to use an external time-series database such as InfluxDb or VictoriaMetrics.
