Helios now follows your Home Assistant energy dashboard at 100% and never estimates a value: everything the card shows, live or historical, comes straight from your dashboard, with nothing extra to wire and no per-card value that can drift from it.

Highlights

  • Detail panels: double-tap (or double-click) any chip for a compact readout of that metric over the period you are viewing, tinted in the chip's own colour. Total, peak and per-day average for production/consumption; import, export and net for grid; charged and discharged for battery flux; min/avg/max for SoC and the custom entity; peak + average irradiance plus sunrise, solar noon, sunset, highest altitude and day length for the sun. Icons only, in your unit, recomputed from the exact series the chart draws.
  • Measured values only: live chips appear only when a real live power sensor is configured on the matching energy-dashboard source; curves, energy clock and totals read your kWh meters, so they match the dashboard to the watt-hour. A mis-wired grid sensor is detected and explained in the editor rather than shown as an untrustworthy value.
  • 3D buildings, from a more reliable source: read from OpenFreeMap vector tiles (free, key-less), replacing the OpenStreetMap Overpass API that had started refusing the card by waves. Same building data, still cached locally.
  • Cleaner dials: the central column of the clock and trend dials is replaced by the flat Helios mark laid on the ground plane. Hover or tap it for the period total, without obstructing the bars, the arc or the labels.
  • The weather panel is gone, along with its temperature and wind options. Weather is kept where it matters: cloud cover and irradiance still drive the sun disc, the shadows and the irradiance view.
  • Plus: the custom entity now takes its two sensors, dashboard source names on the cards, the solar forecast on the irradiance view, and several fixes (stray battery leader on a hidden SoC chip, custom chip visible at zero while scrubbing, minus sign on zero values, production-curve plateau).
