Installation

Requirements

  • Home Assistant with support for custom integrations.
  • HACS is recommended.
  • Statistics Graph Chart Card v3.32 or newer, installed as a Lovelace resource. Multiple panels require v4.02 or newer.

Statistics Graph Chart Card is a separate dependency and is not bundled with Advanced History.

Install with HACS

1. Install the graph card

Install Statistics Graph Chart Card v3.32 or newer from HACS. Install v4.02 or newer if you want to use multiple panels. Confirm it appears under Settings → Dashboards → Resources.

2. Install Advanced History

  1. Open HACS → Integrations.
  2. Search for Advanced History.
  3. Select it and choose Download.

3. Restart and configure

  1. Restart Home Assistant once so the Python integration is discovered.
  2. Open Settings → Devices & services.
  3. Select Add integration.
  4. Search for Advanced History.
  5. Complete the setup form.
  6. Confirm that the integration page contains both Advanced History and More-Info services.
  7. Open Advanced History from the sidebar.

New installations create the main panel and optional More Info graph-replacement services together. The replacement can be disabled or configured independently. See More Info Graphs.

Manual installation

  1. Install Statistics Graph Chart Card v3.32 or newer and register its JavaScript file as a dashboard resource. Use v4.02 or newer for multiple panels.

  2. Download the Advanced History manual archive.

  3. Copy the advanced_history directory to:

    /config/custom_components/advanced_history

  4. Restart Home Assistant.

  5. Add the integration from Settings → Devices & services.

The final path must be /config/custom_components/advanced_history/manifest.json. An extra directory level will prevent Home Assistant from finding the integration.

Existing standalone-panel users

Remove any old panel_custom entry for Advanced History from configuration.yaml. The integration registers its own sidebar panel, and leaving the old entry in place can create duplicate routes.

Existing installations from before 0.6.0

Add the new More-Info service after updating:

  1. Open Settings → Devices & services → Advanced History.
  2. Select Add service.
  3. Complete the Set up More-Info form.

See More Info Graphs for configuration and behavior.
