Very cool! I've never seen the filling used in that way, very clever. Have you checked the vars attribute and the set_var filter? |

I haven't, I wasn't sure how to format and it as I couldn't find any info on that filter outside of the readme. I don't do anything coding related outside of plotly and some home assistant templating so I didn't know how to start with the other map_y filters. How best to format vars attribute and the set_var filter? I'll see what I can do with it |

If you want to give it a try, you can share the definition of the template entity and I can tell you how to do the same with filters :) |

Thank you! I know the example is for absolute humidity in the readme, but I already pull that data from a custom integration that calculates it separately. sensor:
- name: "plotly heating graph"
state: "see attributes"
attributes:
hallway_temperature: "{{state_attr('climate.hallway_better', 'current_temperature')|float}}"
hallway_humidity: "{{state_attr('climate.hallway_better', 'humidity')|float}}"
hallway_abs_humidity: "{{states('sensor.hallway_absolutehumidity')|float}}"
hallway_valve_position: "{{states('sensor.entryway_trv_position')|float}}"
hallway_mode: "{{states('climate.hallway_better')}}" |

By the way you can delete the update_interval and the plot will Autoupdate as soon as the relevant entities get new values in real time |

very nice. How do you control your main boiler thermostat (as I see you have heating power at different times of the day)?

I use a tado thermostat with a TRV for the red room, for this I shade the heating power which is reported to HA; this is what calls for heat from the boiler. In every other room I have zigbee generic TRVs and cheap BLE hygrometers. In the green room I have the green room a tado thermostat but a zigbee generic TRV, so for this and all the other zigbee TRVs I shade the plot with the reported 'valve position' - in percent how open each valve is. The zigbee TRVs cannot call for heat directly from the boiler so I have a simple automation that calls for heat by increasing the target temperature in a standalone tado thermostat in the green room, which in turn calls the boiler. The zigbee TRVs with BLE hygrometers together cost only about 20% of the price of a tado TRV with tado thermostat and I use the relatively new custom integration 'better thermostat' to combine each room's hygrometer and zigbee TRV. Since the integration stablised with V1.0 release a month or so ago, there's been no noticeable difference in the quality of climate control for each generically controlled room vs the tado controlled room. |

Thanks, this looks very impressive. As a Tado-only user, I want to ask: does the shading also work with the stock Tado TRVs? I was not really able to understand your setup 100%, but it seems that you rely on TRV valve position readings from your ZigBee TRVs, correct? I would love to be able to get a recreation of the Tado App graph, but without any additional or different hardware. Cheers, |

Definitely cool in 3D! Not as practical in this use case unfortunately, see the two comparisons. |

True, it's not practical for this. |

hoverinfo has no effect with any input, the docs say it is overwritten by hovertemplate, hovermode, hoverlabel but I tried removing those and still nothing. I'm using hovermode: x for this, not x-unified type: custom:plotly-graph

In the month since I posted this, I have refined and expanded my original plots. I have settled on a hover that includes more data than is shown in the graph itself such as the target temperature for the heating, and the strength of the sun that will have an effect on heating the rooms: I made an inverse fill (by reversing the range on a new axis) to display when the sun is heating a room, I expect this will be the dominant fill in summer: I've made a faint background fill for when I've toggled my home assistant's away mode or guest mode as these are both tied to my heating schedule, see the faint hatching on the left half of this: And finally I've included an open window sensor, seen here with vertical pattern fill: Since I posted my original I can now also view historical data, and with all the different plots lining up despite their varying integrations, update frequencies and null returns. Big shoutout to @dbuezas for his pointers on that such as the use of In the future I'm hoping to use other features like Here's my code which is now over 400 lines per room: |

Edit: See this comment lower down for my updated features and code.
I've been using plotly to track my smart heating for some time now, but the new filters I've been able to achieve more. These plots were based on tado's own in-app history plots where the heating power usage was shaded area under the temperature plot (like lovelace default climate history) but the shading is graded dependent on the heating power. I'm very happy with how these have turned out.
The filters only seemed to work with attributes of that entity, so I had to make a template sensor to compile all the data I wanted to plot; the heating or TRV position from zigbee radiator valves and the thermostat temperature from BLE hygrometers.
