WTH I can't see the position history of my covers

Month of "What the heck?!"

The only history available for cover entities is Open or Closed:

You can do it with the Mini Graph Card, by setting the attribute to current_position:image

@NKH Thanks for the tip.

You just made me realized we can do this without any external component:

  • Create sensors using templates in configuration.yaml:

    template:
  - sensor:
    - name: "Shutter - Kitchen: current position"
      unique_id: shutter_kitchen_current_position
      unit_of_measurement: "%"
      icon: mdi:window-shutter
      state: >
        {{ state_attr('cover.shutter_kitchen', 'current_position') }}
  - sensor:
    - name: "Shutter - Living Room: current position"
      unique_id: shutter_living_room_current_position
      unit_of_measurement: "%"
      icon: mdi:window-shutter
      state: >
        {{ state_attr('cover.shutter_living_room', 'current_position') }}
...

  • Then use these sensors on the default History Graph card:

    type: history-graph
entities:
  - entity: sensor.shutter_kitchen_current_position
    name: Kitchen
  - entity: sensor.shutter_living_room_current_position
    name: Living room
hours_to_show: 36
title: Shutters position

  • Output:
