Configuration Reference

Open Settings → Devices & services → Advanced History. The integration has separate Advanced History and More-Info service entries, each with its own configuration cog.

Advanced History panel settings

Setting Description
Sidebar icon Material Design icon used for the sidebar item.
Maximum tabs Maximum number of independent desktop panels that can be open. The default is 10.
Maximum entities Safety limit for entities resolved from selected targets.
Automatic detail Sets the inherited automatic point-scaling default for numeric panel charts; explicit chart options can override it. Long ranges also receive an option to show finer detail.
Automatic detail threshold (days) Minimum range length that activates Automatic/Fine detail controls. The default is 31 days.
Include hidden entities Includes hidden registry entities when resolving area and device targets.
Graph card module URL Optional explicit resource URL when automatic card detection fails.
Numeric chart options Statistics Graph Chart Card defaults applied only to numeric panel charts. Numeric charts default to responsive height: auto, which can be replaced by an explicit height.
State chart options Defaults applied only to state-timeline panel charts. Raw grouping, point scaling, chart mode and minimum required height are managed automatically.
Administrators only Restricts the sidebar panel to administrator users.

See Large-Range Detail for mode behaviour, grouping and Card Defaults interaction.

More-Info settings

Setting Description
Use Statistics Graph in More Info Replaces the native graph in entity More Info dialogs.
Show chart calendar Makes the card's date picker the initial mode, showing the rolling last 24 hours on new More-Info services. Administrators can also change this global default from the picker-mode button in a More Info dialog.
Open Show more in Advanced History Opens an entity dialog's History chart as a new Advanced History panel. Enabled by default.
Graph card module URL Optional explicit resource URL when automatic detection fails.
Numeric chart options Independent defaults for numeric graphs in entity dialogs.
State chart options Independent defaults for state-timeline graphs in entity dialogs.

See More Info Graphs for setup, default YAML and restoration of the native graph.

Show more redirection

When Open Show more in Advanced History is enabled, selecting Show more in an entity's History dialog opens its current History chart as a new active Advanced History panel. The new tab uses the entity's friendly name and retains the More Info graph's entity rows and applicable settings. Existing Advanced History panels remain unchanged.

The setting is enabled by default for new More-Info services. Updating to version 2.1.0 also enables it once for existing More-Info services; it can be disabled again in the service settings.

Opening another chart requires an available panel slot. If the configured Maximum tabs has been reached, Advanced History displays a notification and leaves the existing panels unchanged. With a Statistics Graph Chart Card version that does not support multiple panels, the action falls back to opening the entity in the current panel.

Graph card URL

Leave Graph card module URL empty for normal HACS installations. Advanced History checks registered dashboard resources and standard HACS paths automatically.

Set an explicit URL only when the graph card uses a non-standard resource path.

Applying changes

Submitting either config flow reloads the relevant Advanced History frontend configuration. A full Home Assistant restart is normally needed only after initial installation or an update containing Python changes.
