@andyblac andyblac released this 02 Aug 08:04

Version 1.0.0 is the first stable release of Advanced History and marks its addition to the default HACS repository.

Advanced History combines Home Assistant’s familiar History workflow with the more powerful and configurable Statistics Graph Chart Card.

Highlights

  • Select areas, devices, entities and individual entity attributes.
  • Display numeric history and categorical state timelines.
  • Select multiple attributes from the same entity.
  • Configure names, colours and styling independently.
  • Navigate days, weeks, months, years and custom date ranges.
  • Compare the current period with previous periods.
  • Save charts as synchronized bookmarks.
  • Restore chart history and use Undo and Redo.
  • Edit graphs using the Statistics Graph Chart Card visual or YAML editor.
  • Open compatible custom cards directly in Advanced History through its public browser API.
  • Optionally replace native More Info History graphs.
  • Automatically display climate, humidifier and water-heater attributes.
  • Preserve Home Assistant domain colours and state mappings.
  • Display the matching Activity history for the selected date range.

Changes since v0.9.0

  • State Timeline charts now use the graph card’s automatic height calculation.
  • Removed redundant manual timeline-height calculations.
  • Updated installation instructions for availability through the default HACS repository.
  • Removed pre-release warnings from the README and wiki.
  • Updated legacy beta-configuration guidance.
  • Bumped the integration version to 1.0.0.

More Info graphs

Advanced History can replace the native History graph inside entity More Info dialogs while retaining a Home Assistant-style layout.

More Info graphs support:

  • Independent graph defaults
  • Entity-specific overrides
  • Climate, humidifier and water-heater attributes
  • Native domain and state colours
  • Date-range shortcuts
  • Matching Activity history
  • Visual and YAML graph editing

Requirements

  • Home Assistant with custom integration support
  • Statistics Graph Chart Card v3.32 or newer
  • HACS is recommended

Statistics Graph Chart Card remains a separate dependency and must be installed through HACS.

Updating from v0.9.0

  1. Update Statistics Graph Chart Card to the latest available version.
  2. Update Advanced History through HACS.
  3. Restart Home Assistant.
  4. Hard-refresh the browser if it still displays the previous frontend version.

No configuration migration is required when updating from v0.9.0.

Users who tested much older beta versions should ensure any manually saved YAML uses:

  • attributes instead of series
  • include_area_names instead of include_area_on_duplicate_names

HACS availability

Advanced History is now included in the default HACS repository. A custom repository entry is no longer required.

Thank you to everyone who tested the beta releases, reported issues and helped Advanced History reach its first stable release.
