Lovelace Mini Graph Card

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

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

Install

HACS

This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).

Manual install

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

Show data from the past week

Use the hours_to_show option to specify how many hours of history the graph should represent. Use the points_per_hour option to specify the accuracy/detail of the graph.

    state: false

Horizontally stacked cards

You can stack cards horizontally by using one or more horizontal-stack(s).

- type: horizontal-stack
  cards:
    - type: custom:mini-graph-card
      entities:
        - sensor.humidity
      line_color: blue
      line_width: 8
      font_size: 75
    - type: custom:mini-graph-card
      entities:
        - sensor.illumination
      line_color: '#e74c3c'
      line_width: 8
      font_size: 75
    - type: custom:mini-graph-card
      entities:
        - sensor.temperature
      line_color: var(--accent-color)
      line_width: 8
      font_size: 75

Dynamic line color

Have the graph change line color dynamically.

- type: custom:mini-graph-card
  entities:
    - sensor.sensor_temperature
  show:
    labels: true
  color_thresholds:
    - value: 20
      color: "#f39c12"

      color: "#d35400"
    - value: 21.5
      color: "#c0392b"

Alternate y-axis

Have one or more series plot on a separate y-axis, which appears on the right side of the graph. This example also shows turning off the line, points and legend.

- type: custom:mini-graph-card
  entities:
    - entity: sensor.verandah
      name: Verandah
    - entity: sensor.lounge
      name: Lounge
    - entity: sensor.kitchen
      name: Kitchen
    - color: gray
      entity: input_number.nighttime
      name: Night
      show_line: false
      show_points: false
      show_legend: false
      y_axis: secondary
  show:
    labels: true
    labels_secondary: true

Grouping by date

You can group values by date, this way you can visualize for example daily energy consumption.

- type: custom:mini-graph-card
  entities:
    - entity: sensor.energy_daily
  name: Energy consumption
  hours_to_show: 168
  aggregate_func: max
  group_by: date
  show:
    graph: bar

Data aggregation functions

You can decide how values are agreggated for points on graph. Example how to display min, max, avg temerature per day from last week.

- type: custom:mini-graph-card
  entities:
    - entity: sensor.outside_temp
      aggregate_func: max
      name: Max
      color: #e74c3c
    - entity: sensor.outside_temp
      aggregate_func: min
      name: Min
    - entity: sensor.outside_temp
      aggregate_func: avg
      name: Avg
      color: green
  name: Temp outside daily (last week)
  hours_to_show: 168
  group_by: date

Non-numeric sensor states

You can render non-numeric states by providing state_map config. For example this way you can show data comming 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
    - entity: binary_sensor.bedroom_motion
      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
