WTH - History view interactive date/time range slider

I would absolutely LOVE a date range slider. Kind of like video editing and you can slide drag handles to trim and crop. It’s quite cumbersome to keep opening and closing the start and or end date options and changing times and dates.

A drag handle slider like some project management and video editing tools would be utterly dreamy. It would let you drag them and adjust the view quickly to pin point sections of time.

It could just update and you could continuosuly drag them outwards, or inwards to adjust the time scale from seconds, and move out to minutes, hours, days, weeks, months.

In the above example. I needed to →

1 - Open the start time field.
2 - Select the 17th
3 - Select 06
4 - Select AM
5 - Select 19th date
6 - Select 12
7 - Select PM

To get to this view, when i could have just dragged two time sliders?

Think there may be something slightly similar but not sure if it’s actually referring it to be the same as it’s a massive post. Think it’s to do with ranges but not how it’s selected.

This already exists to an extent

Just updated, and see it but it’s not really what i had in mind as described above. each click moves in 3 hour blocks, It needs thousands of clicks to expand out, so you have to go back to the process above.

If you want to change the range, click the buttons on the sidebar. There’s a WTH to expand those options as well.

i.e. click the day range, then click left right and it will move days instead of 3 hour increments. Etc.

This is more what I had in mind. I’ve used those other options before (just updated HA from 13 to 14 also) :slight_smile: But the slider seems more intuitive.

I know what you have in mind, I’m explaining how it currently works because you added a wordy response that was not accurate to the current functionality.

But certainly helps changing to days and then clicking the arrows that’s for sure!.

Certainly an improvement since version 13 i was using. After the Alexa media player crash issue i got a bit twitchy about updating HA so quickly.

As i feared ha! Guess i better get troubleshooting…
