Installation

Requirements

• Home Assistant with support for custom integrations.
• HACS is recommended.
• Statistics Graph Chart Card installed as a Lovelace resource.

Statistics Graph Chart Card is a separate dependency and is not bundled with Advanced History.

Install with HACS

1. Install the graph card

Install Statistics Graph Chart Card from HACS. Confirm it appears under Settings → Dashboards → Resources.

2. Add Advanced History as a custom repository

1. Open HACS → Integrations.

2. Open the three-dot menu and select Custom repositories.

3. Enter:

   https://github.com/andyblac/Advanced-History-Integration
   

4. Select Integration as the category.

5. Select Add.

6. Search for Advanced History and install it.

3. Restart and configure

1. Restart Home Assistant once so the Python integration is discovered.
2. Open Settings → Devices & services.
3. Select Add integration.
4. Search for Advanced History.
5. Complete the setup form.
6. Open Advanced History from the sidebar.

Manual installation

1. Install Statistics Graph Chart Card and register its JavaScript file as a dashboard resource.

2. Download the Advanced History manual archive.

3. Copy the advanced_history directory to:

   /config/custom_components/advanced_history
   

4. Restart Home Assistant.

5. Add the integration from Settings → Devices & services.

The final path must be /config/custom_components/advanced_history/manifest.json. An extra directory level will prevent Home Assistant from finding the integration.

Existing standalone-panel users

Remove any old panel_custom entry for Advanced History from configuration.yaml. The integration registers its own sidebar panel, and leaving the old entry in place can create duplicate routes.
