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-panel icon, allowing the card to appear correctly in the picker.
  • Motion overlay sizing no longer creates a vertical scrollbar when the visible card content fits.
