ApexCharts Card by @RomRider
This is higly customizable graph card for Home-Assistant's Lovelace UI.
It is based on ApexCharts.js and offers most of the features of the library.
It is also inspired by the great mini-graph-card
by @kalkih
However, some things might be broken ๐
- Installation
- Data processing steps
- Using the card
- Experimental features
- Known issues
- Roadmap
- Examples
This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). HACS is a third party community store and is not included in Home Assistant out of the box.

If you configure Lovelace via YAML, add a reference to apexcharts-card.js
inside your configuration.yaml
:
resources:
- url: /local/apexcharts-card.js?v=1.9.0
type: module
Else, if you prefer the graphical editor, use the menu to add the resource:
- Make sure, advanced mode is enabled in your user profile (click on your user name to get there)
- Navigate to Configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards -> Resources Tab. Hit orange (+) icon
- Enter URL
/local/apexcharts-card.js
and select type "JavaScript Module". - Restart Home Assistant.
This diagrams shows how your data goes through all the steps allowed by this card:
The card stricly validates all the options available (but not for the apex_config
object). If there is an error in your configuration, it will tell you where and display a red error card.

v1.4.0 | If show_states is enabled, this would show/hide this specific serie in the header. If set to raw (introduced in v1.7.0), it would display the latest raw state of the entity in the header bypassing any grouping/transformation done by the card. If the graph spans into the future (using data_generator ): before_now would display the value just before the current time and after_now would display the value just after the current time (Introduced in v1.8.0) |

Name | Since | Description |
---|---|---|
start |
v1.2.0 | Display the graph from the begining of the minute , day , hour , week , month , year , isoWeek . isoWeek is the start of the week according to ISO 8601 |

Span enables you to:
- Offset the graph by an amount of time
start
: Display the graph from the begining of theminute
,day
,hour
,week
,month
,year
. In this case,graph_span
should be in most cases<=
to 1 unit of the unit defined in start.end
: Display the graph from the end of theminute
,day
,hour
,week
,month
,year
- Combined with
group_by
in a serie, the group will begin at the tick of thestart
unit (+/-offset
if defined) - Only one of
start
orend
is supported at the same time
graph_span: If start is defined, it should be <= to 1 unit of the one defined in `start`
span:
start: minute, day, hour, week, month or year
end: minute, day, hour, week, month or year
offset: To offset in the past, prefix with `-` Timerange like 1day, 12h, 10min, -12h, -1d, ...
Eg:
- Display 24h from the start of the current day (00:00 -> 23:59)
type: custom:apexcharts-card graph_span: 24h span: start: day
- Display 24h from the start of the previous day (00:00 -> 23:59, -1 day)
type: custom:apexcharts-card graph_span: 24h span: start: day offset: -1d
- Display 12h between 06:00 and 18:00 of the current day
type: custom:apexcharts-card graph_span: 12h span: start: day offset: +6h
- Display the last 7 days, the end of the graph is the end of the current day
type: custom:apexcharts-card graph_span: 7d span: end: day
With transform, you can modify raw data comming from Home-Assistant's history using a javascript function.
Some of the things you can do:
- Transform any state into a number (for eg. for binary_sensors)
- Apply a different scale to your data (eg: divide by 1024 to convert bits into Kbits)
- Do anything that javascript allows with the value
Your javascript code will receive:
x
: a state or a value of the attribute if you defined one (it can be astring
,null
or anumber
depending on the entity type you've assigned)hass
: the fullhass
object (hass.states['other.entity']
to get the state object of another entity for eg.)entity
: the full state object of the entity from the history entry currently being transformed
And should return a number
, a float
or null
.
Some examples:
-
Convert
binary_sensor
to numbers (1
ison
,0
isoff
)type: custom:apexcharts-card update_delay: 3s update_interval: 1min series: - entity: binary_sensor.heating transform: "return x === 'on' ? 1 : 0;"
-
Scale a sensor:
type: custom:apexcharts-card update_delay: 3s update_interval: 1min series: - entity: sensor.bandwidth transform: "return x / 1024;"
Before we start, to learn javascript, google is your friend or ask for help on the forum ๐
data_generator
is an advanced feature. It enables you to build your own data out of the last state of a sensor. It completely bypasses the history retrieval and caching mecanism.
You'll need to write a javascript function which returns a [timestamp, value][]
:
timestamp
is the timestamp of the data in msvalue
is the value of the data as a number or a float, make sure you parse it if it's a string.
Inside your javascript code, you'll have access to those variables:
entity
: the entity objectstart
(Date object): the start Date object of the graph currently displayedend
(Date object): the end Date object of the graph currently displayedhass
: the completehass
objectmoment
: the Moment.JS object to help you manipulate time and dates
Let's take this example:
-
My sensor (
sensor.test
) has this state as its last state:FirstPeak: High PeakTimes: - '2021-01-27 03:43:00' - '2021-01-27 10:24:00' - '2021-01-27 16:02:00' - '2021-01-27 22:38:00' - '2021-01-28 04:21:00' - '2021-01-28 11:06:00' - '2021-01-28 16:40:00' - '2021-01-28 23:18:00' - '2021-01-29 05:00:00' - '2021-01-29 11:45:00' - '2021-01-29 17:19:00' - '2021-01-29 23:58:00' - '2021-01-30 05:39:00' - '2021-01-30 12:25:00' - '2021-01-30 17:59:00' PeakHeights: - 4.99 - 1.41 - 4.96 - 1.33 - 5.22 - 1.19 - 5.15 - 1.14 - 5.42 - 1.01 - 5.3 - 0.99 - 5.57 - 0.87 - 5.39 unit_of_measurement: m friendly_name: Tides
-
This is data in the future, but I want to display them so I need to build them myself using
data_generator
:type: custom:apexcharts-card graph_span: 4d # I have 4 days worth of data in the future in the attributes span: start: hour # I want to display from the start of the current hours 4 days into the future series: - entity: sensor.test data_generator: | # This is what builds the data return entity.attributes.PeakTimes.map((peak, index) => { return [new Date(peak).getTime(), entity.attributes.PeakHeights[index]]; });
The result of this function call would be something like:
[[1611718980000, 4.99], [1611743040000, 1.41], [1611763320000, 4.96], ...]
-
And this is all you need ๐
yaxis
in the main apex_config
option as it will be overriden.
You can have as many y-axis as there are series defined in your configuration or less.
Name | Type | Default | Since | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
โ
id |
string | v1.9.0 | The identification name of the yaxis used to map it to a serie. Needs to be unique. | |
show |
boolean | true |
v1.9.0 | Whether to show or not the axis on the chart |
opposite |
boolean | false |
v1.9.0 | If true , the axis will be shown on the right side of the chart |
min |
auto , number or string |
auto |
v1.9.0 | If undefined or auto , the min of the yaxis will be automatically calculated based on the min value of all the series associated to this axis. See below for other formats. |
max |
auto , number or string |
auto |
v1.9.0 | If undefined or auto , the min of the yaxis will be automatically calculated based on the max value of all the series associated to this axis. See below for other formats. |
apex_config |
object | v1.9.0 | Any configuration from https://apexcharts.com/docs/options/yaxis/, except min , max , show and opposite |
min
and max
support multiple types of format:
- not set or
auto
(this is the default): if it is set toauto
, the min or max will be automatically calculated - any number: if a number is set, the min or max will be fixed on the y-axis
~90
: if the format is~
followed by a number, the min or max will be defined as a soft boundsmin: ~90
and the min of the data in the series is120
: the y-axis min value will be90
min: ~90
and the min of the data in the series is60
: the y-axis min value will be60
'|+20|'
or'|-20|'
: This will add/remove the value between| |
from the min/maxmin: '|-20|'
: The min of the data in the series is32
, the y-axis min will be12
(=32 - 20
)max: '|+10|'
: The max of the data in the series is32
, the y-axis max will be42
(=32 + 10
)
In this example, we have 2 sensors:
sensor.random0_100
: goes from0
to100
sensor.random_0_1000
: goes from0
to1000
The min
and max
of both y-axis are auto calculated based on the spread of the data associated with each axis.
type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 20min
yaxis:
- id: first # identification name of the first y-axis
apex_config:
tickAmount: 4
- id: second # identification name of the second y-axis
opposite: true # make it show on the right side
apex_config:
tickAmount: 4
all_series_config:
stroke_width: 2
series:
- entity: sensor.random0_100
yaxis_id: first # this serie will be associated to the 'id: first' axis.
- entity: sensor.random_0_1000
yaxis_id: second # this serie will be associated to the 'id: second' axis.
- entity: sensor.random0_100
yaxis_id: first # this serie will be associated to the 'id: first' axis.
transform: 'return Number(x) + 30;' # We make it go fom 30 to 130
- entity: sensor.random0_100
yaxis_id: first # this serie will be associated to the 'id: first' axis.
transform: 'return Number(x) - 30;' # We make it go from -30 to 70
This is how you could change some options from ApexCharts as described on the Options (Reference)
menu entry.
Hundreds of options are available and it is not possible to describe them all here so check over there and ask on the forum if you need help with using them.
โ ๏ธ Some options might not work in the context of this card.โ ๏ธ Everything which is available through the default config of this card shouldn't be defined inapex_config
. If you do, it might break.
type: custom:apexcharts-card
series:
- ...
apex_config:
dataLabels:
enabled: true
dropShadow:
enabled: true
Some options in ApexCharts can take a javascript function as an argument. To make this possible, you'll have to prefix your function with EVAL:
.
EVAL:
feature, there is no safeguard so use at your own risk.
Here is an example:
apex_config:
yaxis:
labels:
formatter: |
EVAL:function(value) {
return "42";
}
For now, only minimal
is supported: It will remove the grid, the axis and display the legend at the top. But you can use the apex_config
to do whatever you want.
For code junkies, you'll find the default options I use in src/apex-layouts.ts
-
Define your config template in the main lovelace configuration and then use it in your cards. This will avoid a lot of repetitions! It's basically YAML anchors, but without using YAML anchors and is very useful if you split your config in multiple files ๐
-
You can overload any parameter with a new one
-
Arrays will be merged by matching the index
-
You can also inherit another template from within a template.
-
You can inherit multiple templates at once by making it an array. In this case, the templates will be merged together with the current configuration in the order they are defined. This happens recursively.
type: custom:apexcharts-card config_templates: - template1 - template2 # or type: custom:apexcharts-card config_templates: template1
The card templates will be applied in the order they are defined: template2
will be merged with template1
and then the local config will be merged with the result. You can still chain templates together (ie. define template in a apexcharts-card template. It will follow the path recursively).
Make sure which type of lovelace dashboard you are using before changing the main lovelace configuration:
managed
changes are managed by lovelace UI - add the template configuration to configuration in raw editor- go to your dashboard
- click three dots and
Edit dashboard
button - click three dots again and click
Raw configuration editor
button
yaml
- add template configuration to your dashboard file (ui-lovelace.yaml
for eg.)
Note: Templates have to be defined in all dashboards, they are not shared.
To give you an idea where to put those (in your dashboard file/RAW editor):
apexcharts_card_templates:
default:
color_list: ['red', 'green', 'blue']
bandwidth_chart:
graph_span: 24h
config_templates: default
header:
show: true
show_states: true
colorize_states: true
all_series_config:
stroke_width: 2
opacity: 0.3
type: area
views:
- title: Main
panel: true
cards:
[...]
And then where you define your card, you can consume those templates, and/or overload it:
- type: custom:apexcharts-card
config_templates: bandwidth_chart
header:
title: WAN Bandwidth
series:
- entity: sensor.wan_download
- entity: sensor.wan_upload
invert: true
In the end, this would produce the same result as but it's shorter and you can reuse that template elsewhere:
- type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 24h
header:
title: WAN Bandwidth
show: true
show_states: true
colorize_states: true
all_series_config:
stroke_width: 2
opacity: 0.3
type: area
color_list: ['red', 'green', 'blue']
series:
- entity: sensor.wan_download
- entity: sensor.wan_upload
invert: true
This will allow you to apply some settings to all the series avoiding repetition. It's just syntaxic sugar and doesn't add more features.
Eg:
- type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 24h
all_series_config:
stroke_width: 2
type: area
transform: return x / 1024;
unit: Mb/s
series:
- entity: sensor.wan_download
- entity: sensor.wan_upload
invert: true
Generates the same result as repeating the configuration in each series:
- type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 24h
series:
- entity: sensor.wan_download
stroke_width: 2
type: area
transform: return x / 1024;
unit: Mb/s
- entity: sensor.wan_upload
invert: true
stroke_width: 2
type: area
transform: return x / 1024;
unit: Mb/s
Name | Type | Default | Since | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
color_threshold |
boolean | false |
v1.6.0 | Will enable the color threshold feature. See color_threshold |
disable_config_validation |
boolean | false |
v1.6.0 | If true , will disable the config validation. Useful if you have cards adding parameters to this one. Use at your own risk. |
hidden_by_default |
boolean | false |
v1.6.0 | Will allow you to use the hidden_by_default option. See hidden_by_default |
brush |
boolean | false |
v1.8.0 | Will display a brush which allows you to select a portion time to display on the main chart. See brush |
color_threshold
is an experimental feature for now since enabling it will break some other default features.
If enabled, it might:
- display the wrong serie color in the tooltip in some cases (series with datapoints not aligned mostly)
- display thin columns instead of the standard size
- completely render
apex_config.fill
options unusable, and if you do, it will break the card
Now that you are warned, it works with:
chart_type
:radialBar
,line
,pie
,donut
series
'stype
:column
,area
,line
Some notes:
- For
series
'stype: column
, the full bar will be of the color defined. Gradient is not possible - For
series
'stype: area
:- only the filled area will be displayed with the gradient. It is not possible to do so for the line.
- It works better with
stroke_width: 1
orstroke_width: 0
- If using
invert: true
, the values incolor_threshold
should stay the same as withinvert: false
.
And this is how to use it:
type: custom:apexcharts-card
experimental:
color_threshold: true
series:
- entity: sensor.temperature
color_threshold:
- value: -10
# color can be a color name, rgb(r, g, b), '#0000ff' or var(--color-variable)
# default is: the default color of the serie
color: blue
# optional opacity, value from 0 to 1.
# only for line and area
# Default is 1 for 'type: line' and 0.7 for `type: area`
opacity: 1
- value: 0
color: cyan
- value: 15
color: green
- value: 25
color: orange
hidden_by_default
experimental feature
Enabling this experimental feature might/will break the auto-scaling and auto-column width feature. Don't open an issue for that. It only works if all the series have a unique name.
This option is useful if you want to hide a serie from the chart by default when it's loaded as if you had clicked on the legend to disable this serie.
This is how to use it:
type: custom:apexcharts-card
experimental:
hidden_by_default: true
series:
- entity: sensor.temperature
show:
hidden_by_default: true
- entity: sensor.temperature_office
brush
will allow you to display a small chart on the bottom of the card to select a time frame to display on the main chart.
Things to know:
- You might have some glitches if you are using colums in either the top or the bottom of the chart. There's nothing I can do about it.
- All the features from normal series can be applied to the brush series
- You can configure the bottom chart the way you want with another specific
apex_config
also - It might be compute heavy and slow with a lot of history data points
- It is recommended to not show too much data on the bottom chart for the sake of lisibility
Here is how to use it (this represents the chart above):
type: custom:apexcharts-card
experimental:
color_threshold: true
brush: true # This is required
graph_span: 2h # This will represent the span of the brush
brush:
# selection_span: optional
# defines the default selected span in the brush
# Defaults to 1/4 of the `graph_span`
selection_span: 10m
# apex_config: optional
apex_config:
# Any ApexCharts settings you want to apply to the brush
# Same as the standard apex_config
series:
- entity: sensor.random0_100
color: blue
type: area
stroke_width: 1
color_threshold:
- value: 0
color: red
- value: 50
color: yellow
- value: 100
color: green
- entity: sensor.random0_100
color: blue
stroke_width: 1
float_precision: 0
show:
# in_brush: set it to true and the serie will show up in the brush
in_brush: true
# add this also if you want your serie to only show up in the brush
in_chart: false
- Sometimes, if
smoothing
is used alongsidearea
and there is missing data in the chart, the background will be glitchy. See apexcharts.js/#2180 binary_sensor
is not yet supported.- Bars will span left and right of the data point. Not so great if you use
func
to aggregate your data. See apexcharts.js/#1688
Not ordered by priority:
-
Support more types of charts (pie, radial, polar area at least) -
Support forbinary_sensors
-
Support for aggregating data with exact boundaries (ex: aggregating data with1h
could aggregate from2:00:00am
to2:59:59am
then3:00:00am
to3:59:59
exactly, etc...) -
Display the graph from start of day, week, month, ... with support for "up to now" or until the "end of the period" - Support for any number of Y-axis
- Support for logarithmic
-
Support for state mapping for non-numerical state sensors -
Support for simple color threshold (easier to understand/write than the ones provided natively by ApexCharts) -
Support for graph configuration templates ร labutton-card
