v0.6.1-beta

This release introduces an optional More Info graph replacement, allowing Statistics Graph Chart Card to replace Home Assistant’s native History graph inside entity dialogs.

⚠️ Important for existing installations

Existing installations must manually add the new More-Info service:

1. Open Settings → Devices & services.
2. Select Advanced History.
3. Select Add service.
4. Configure the More-Info service.

New installations automatically create both the main Advanced History service and the More-Info service.

The More Info graph replacement is enabled by default when this service is added. It can be disabled using its configuration cog.

New: More Info graph replacement

Advanced History can now replace Home Assistant’s native History graph inside entity More Info dialogs with Statistics Graph Chart Card.

The More Info graph has its own independent configuration, including:

• Separate card defaults and YAML configuration
• Statistics Graph Chart Card visual editor
• Optional built-in chart calendar
• Day view selected by default when the calendar is enabled
• Independent enable/disable toggle
• Automatic Statistics Graph Chart Card resource detection
• Native Home Assistant timezone handling

Native Home Assistant styling

The More Info replacement now more closely matches Home Assistant’s native graphs:

• Native graph series color
• Native binary sensor state colors
• Native active, inactive, unknown and unavailable colors
• Native 12px x-axis and y-axis font sizes
• Native axis text and date-marker colors
• Native divider-colored grid lines
• Native square state-timeline segments
• Native-style line width, spacing and sizing
• Redundant entity names are hidden on single state timelines
• Compact state timelines use the available More Info dialog space more effectively

Tooltip and graph fill remain enabled because they provide useful additional detail.

All styling values are visible in the More Info YAML defaults and can be changed or removed through the config flow.

Reliability improvements

• Improved detection of numeric and categorical entities
• Numeric entities remain correctly classified while their current state is unknown or unavailable
• Binary sensors use localized state names such as Open and Closed
• Reduced layout clipping and excess whitespace
• Prevented the disabled replacement from fighting with or repeatedly redrawing Home Assistant’s native graph
• Added seamless loading while the replacement graph is prepared
• Existing More Info services automatically receive the new defaults without overwriting user-defined values

Additional improvements

• Added area names when duplicate entity friendly names are detected
• Improved frontend resource sharing between the Advanced History and More Info services
• Updated Home Assistant localization keys and removed redundant custom translations
• Separate configuration cogs are available for the main panel and More Info service
