Entities object

Providing options are optional, entities can be listed directly, see example below.

Name Type Default Description
entity string required Entity id of the sensor.
name string optional Set a custom display name, defaults to entity's friendly_name.
color string optional Set a custom color, overrides all other color options including thresholds.

fixed_value boolean optional Set to true to graph the entity's current state as a fixed value instead of graphing its state history.

Note:

  • If the line and points and fill are all set to false, nothing will be visible in the graph. However, the data will still contribute to the y-axis min/max and be shown in the current state and legend.
entities:
