Creating the charts

There are a number of fancy Apex charts that can be produced from Predbat data - things like Home Battery SoC prediction, Cost prediction, Energy Rates, etc.

There's a Video Guide to the different charts available on YouTube.

To install the charts:

• Install Apex Charts https://github.com/RomRider/apexcharts-card:

  • In HACS, click on Frontend
  • Click the blue Explore and download repositories button and type 'apex'
  • Click on 'apexcharts-card', then click the blue 'Download', then 'Download' again to install it
  • When prompted to 'reload your browser', click 'Reload'

• Next, on a Home Assistant dashboard you create the charts you want.

• There are multiple charts, for each section of the example chart yaml file, create a new apexcharts card and copy the YAML into it:
  • Click the blue 'Add card', scroll down the list of cards to the bottom and click 'Custom: ApexCharts card'
  • Delete the template card configuration and copy/paste ONE Apex chart from the example file
  • Click 'Save'
  • Repeat (adding Apex chart card, copy paste card config) for all of the charts you want to see
• Customise as you like

If you get an error 'Custom element doesn't exist: apexcharts-card' then you've not installed the Apex Charts card correctly from HACS.

See the video guides for a walkthrough of what the different charts show.
