Have you tried this card ? Tried it and literally grinded my home assistant pc to a halt where the page didn't respond at all. Tried with cahce enabled in the card and without, no diffirence. Even tried setting the update interval to 4 hours.

Yeah that screenshot is from my own home assistant.

Screenshot 2021-08-04 at 14.11.31.png

Interesting...its suppose to render client side? Works fine for me.

This is my code (mostly copied from another user):
Code: 
type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 36h
span:
  start: day
  offset: '-6h'
header:
  show: true
  title: Solar Production vs. forecast
  show_states: true
now:
  show: true
  label: now
apex_config:
  legend:
    show: false
series:
  - entity: sensor.goodwe_ppv
    name: Actual
    unit: W
    fill_raw: last
    extend_to_end: false
    group_by:
      func: avg
      duration: 30min
  - entity: sensor.solcast_forecast_average_30min
    transform: return x * 1000;
    name: Forecast
    unit: W
    fill_raw: last
    extend_to_end: false
  - entity: sensor.solcast_forecast_data
    type: line
    extend_to_end: false
    unit: W
    show:
      in_header: false
    data_generator: |
      return entity.attributes.forecasts.map((entry) => {
         return [new Date(entry.period_end), entry.pv_estimate*1000];
       });

This is pretty cool actually. Thanks for sharing

thank you.

Would love to get it into hacs as a custom component, but I am complete noob with python and I know from look/comparing/copying/pasting from other code :p

Trying to split where it shows clients on 2.4ghz and 5ghz per ap. The screenshot shared is from wifi 6 ap which uses different code for this and works. My other 2 ap's are both wifi 5 and shows the total for both on each cards. Only my wifi 6 ap shows correct.

Strange... must be using a pc for home assistant server with more power than me.

Have a look at https://github.com/RomRider/apexcharts-card

Interesting.

My HA runs on a Minnowboard Turbot which has this CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU E3826 @ 1.46GHz
2 cores and 2GB ram only. The only fast part on it is the SSD I am running on it. A Pi4 should be faster.

ps. the default setting for cache is true, so it should be using cache by default.

I think the part that is maybe slow for you is when it hits your database for the data points for the graph. Are you running on sd-card, normal hdd, usb or ssd?

Need a bit of advice, is there anything with both temp input and dimming capabilities? I want to run dimmable IR bulbs - and dim them based on temp - preferably as one unit.

Running on an old Lenovo ThinkCentre with Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU J1800 @ 2.41GHz with 2 cores, 4gb ram and ssd. Which in should be very close with similar performance.

Will check again as I had a few issues with my pc when I tried it. Testing windows 11 :p Or it might have been the graph_span that I used. See you have 36 hours. Under correction I was trying 30 days. Wanted a graph that showed 30 days usage per day of total data usage per day.

Don't know if this helps, but I was pretty impressed (but not thoroughly ) with the Shelley DW2 sensors. The WiFi magnetic switch has both a lux and temperature sensor so using that as in input you could Dim lights.

Why I am not thoroughly impressed :- I put them on doors that don't open often (maybe once or twice a month) - front door / scullery door. We use another door to get into house. As they don't trigger (because door doesn't open) , they drop off the network or stop reporting data. One of them , batteries did not even last two week (also only opened once a week). It was in WiFi range but at the edge of coverage so think it ate those CR123 batteries quickly.

For the doors that are opened regularly , they are working fine. Screenshot_2021-08-04-15-47-11-591_allterco.bg.shelly.jpg

ok woah 30 days is a lot, depending on how you select the data I guess. Pretty sure that wont be fast.

Tried again and it seems like it works with few days, but the moment you start pushing for a lot like 30 days, it kills the server. Would have been nice to have a graph for that, but then it is over kill as well. :cool:

Was more playing around than wanted one... as a nice to have. But no stress. Nuked the idea.

To give an idea, I have one page that purely monitor and control everything on my network, from a nas to proxmox, printer, vm's, docker, printer and all my network switch/ap's and so on. Thought it might be "nice" to tracker daily data usage for fiber

you need to generate a single daily value for each entity, then I am sure it will be quick to graph if you read 1 entry per day instead of 5 min intervals spread over the day (if not seconds etc).

ok the new energy dash is pretty cool now that I have set it up. Didnt take long as I already have all the sensors...well most. Some I still need to set up.
