Lovelace Mini Graph Card

A minimalistic and customizable graph card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI.

The card works with entities from within the sensor & binary_sensor domain and displays the sensors current state as well as a line graph representation of the history.

Preview

Install

HACS (recommended)

This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). HACS is a third party community store and is not included in Home Assistant out of the box.

Manual install

  1. Download and copy mini-graph-card-bundle.js from the latest release into your config/www directory.

  2. Add the resource reference as decribed below.

CLI install

  1. Move into your config/www directory.

  2. Grab mini-graph-card-bundle.js:

$ wget https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card/releases/download/v0.11.0/mini-graph-card-bundle.js
  1. Add the resource reference as decribed below.

Add resource reference

If you configure Lovelace via YAML, add a reference to mini-graph-card-bundle.js inside your configuration.yaml:

resources:
  - url: /local/mini-graph-card-bundle.js?v=0.11.0
    type: module

Else, if you prefer the graphical editor, use the menu to add the resource:

  1. Make sure, advanced mode is enabled in your user profile (click on your user name to get there)
  2. Navigate to Configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards -> Resources Tab. Hit orange (+) icon
  3. Enter URL /local/mini-graph-card-bundle.js and select type "JavaScript Module". (Use /hacsfiles/mini-graph-card/mini-graph-card-bundle.js and select "JavaScript Module" for HACS install)
  4. Restart Home Assistant.

Updating

If you have a version older than v0.0.8 installed, please delete the current files and follow the installation instructions again.

  1. Find your mini-graph-card-bundle.js file in config/www or wherever you ended up storing it.

  2. Replace the local file with the latest one attached in the latest release.

  3. Add the new version number to the end of the cards reference url in your ui-lovelace.yaml like below:

resources:
  - url: /local/mini-graph-card-bundle.js?v=0.11.0
    type: module

You may need to empty the browsers cache if you have problems loading the updated card.

Entities object

Entities may be listed directly (as per sensor.temperature in the example below), or defined using properties of the Entity object detailed in the following table (as per sensor.pressure in the example below).

Name Type Default Description

smoothing boolean Override for a flag indicating whether to make graph line smooth.
entities:
  - sensor.temperature
  - entity: sensor.pressure
    name: Pressure
    show_state: true
  - sensor.humidity

Available show options

All properties are optional.

Name Default Options Description
name true true / false Display name.
icon true true / false Display icon.
state true true / false / last Display current state. last will show the last graph point's value.
graph line line / bar / false Display option for the graph. If set to bar a maximum of 96 bars will be displayed.
fill true true / false / fade Display the line graph fill.
points hover true / false / hover Display graph data points.
legend true true / false Display the graph legend (only shown when graph contains multiple entities).
average false true / false Display average information.
extrema false true / false Display max/min information.
labels hover true / false / hover Display Y-axis labels.
labels_secondary hover true / false / hover Display secondary Y-axis labels.
name_adaptive_color false true / false Make the name color adapt with the primary entity color.
icon_adaptive_color false true / false Make the icon color adapt with the primary entity color.

Line color object

See dynamic line color for example usage.

Name Type Default Description
value (required except in interpolation (see below)) number The threshold for the color stop.
color (required) string Color in 6 digit hex format (e.g. #008080).
Line color interpolation of stop values

As long as the first and last threshold stops have value properties, intermediate stops can exclude value; they will be interpolated linearly. For example, given stops like:

color_thresholds:
  - value: 0
    color: "#ff0000"
  - color: "#ffff00"
  - color: "#00ff00"
  - value: 4
    color: "#0000ff"

The values will be interpolated as:

color_thresholds:
  - value: 0
    color: "#ff0000"
  - value: 1.333333
    color: "#ffff00"
  - value: 2.666667
    color: "#00ff00"
  - value: 4
    color: "#0000ff"

As a shorthand, you can just use a color string for the stops that you want interpolated:

  - value: 0
    color: "#ff0000"
  - "#ffff00"
  - "#00ff00"
  - value: 4
    color: "#0000ff"

Action object options

Name Type Default Options Description
action string more-info more-info / navigate / call-service / url / none Action to perform.
entity string Any entity id Override default entity of more-info, when action is defined as more-info.
service string Any service Service to call (e.g. media_player.toggle) when action is defined as call-service.
service_data object Any service data Service data to include with the service call (e.g. entity_id: media_player.office).
navigation_path string Any path Path to navigate to (e.g. /lovelace/0/) when action is defined as navigate.
url string Any URL URL to open when action is defined as url.

State map object

Name Type Default Description
value (required) string Value to convert.
label string same as value String to show as label (if the value is not precise).

Aggregate functions

Recorded values are grouped in time buckets which are determined by group_by, points_per_hour configuration. These buckets are converted later to single point/bar on the graph. Aggregate function defines the methods of that conversion.

Name Since Description
avg v0.8.0 Average
median v0.11.0 Median
min v0.8.0 Minimum - lowest value
max v0.8.0 Maximum - largest value
first v0.9.0
last v0.9.0
sum v0.9.2
delta v0.9.4 Calculates difference between max and min value
diff v0.11.0 Calculates difference between first and last value

Theme variables

The following theme variables can be set in your HA theme to customize the appearance of the card.

Name Default Description
mcg-title-letter-spacing Letter spacing of the card title (name option).
mcg-title-font-weight 500 Font weight of the card title.

aggregate_func: max
group_by: date

mini_temperature_aggregate_daily

type: custom:mini-graph-card
entities:
  - entity: sensor.outside_temp
    aggregate_func: max
    name: Max
    color: #e74c3c

    name: Avg
    color: green
name: Temp outside daily (last week)
hours_to_show: 168
group_by: date

Non-numeric sensor states

mini_binary_sensor

You can render non-numeric states by providing state_map config. For example this way you can show data coming from binary sensors.

type: custom:mini-graph-card
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.living_room_motion
    name: Living room
  - entity: binary_sensor.corridor_motion
    name: Corridor
  - entity: binary_sensor.master_bed_motion
    name: Master bed.
    color: green

    name: Bedroom
name: Motion last hour
hours_to_show: 1
points_per_hour: 60
update_interval: 30
aggregate_func: max
line_width: 2
smoothing: false
state_map:
  - value: "off"
    label: Clear
  - value: "on"
    label: Detected

Showing additional info on the card

изображение

It is possible to show a state without displaying a graph for a sensor. Imagine there are two CO-2 sensors & one humidity sensor; graphs are displayed for the CO-2 only, and the humidity is shown as a state only.

type: custom:mini-graph-card
entities:
  - entity: sensor.xiaomi_cg_1_humidity
    show_state: true
    show_graph: false
  - entity: sensor.xiaomi_cg_1_co2
    color: green
    show_state: false
    name: CO2-1
  - entity: sensor.xiaomi_cg_2_co2
    color: orange
    show_state: false
    name: CO2-2
name: Humidity
hours_to_show: 4
points_per_hour: 60
show:
  name: true
  legend: true
  icon: false
  labels: true

This method may be also used to add a calculated value with it's own aggregate_func option.

Development

    type: module

Instructions

Requires nodejs & npm.

  1. Move into the mini-graph-card repo, checkout the dev branch & install dependencies:
$ cd mini-graph-card && git checkout dev && npm install
