Solar Panel Visualizer, HACS card picker fix and more.
Solar Panel Visualizer 0.2.2
Fixed
- Energy KPI popups now use a virtual total panel energy history when no system energy sensor is selected, so Forecast.Solar production can be compared against the summed configured panel energy sensors.
- Virtual total KPI graph handling is now shared for Power and Energy, keeping individual panel comparison as an optional secondary graph.
- Forecast history loading now follows the virtual total graph range for Power and Energy when no primary system sensor is configured.
- Home Assistant card picker metadata now uses the bare custom element type and includes the
mdi:solar-panelicon, allowing the card to appear correctly in the picker. - Motion overlay sizing no longer creates a vertical scrollbar when the visible card content fits.
