OH3 graph in Card/Widget?

Yes, but I think you will have to build your own custom widget with the chart. That widget can then be added to the layout page.

Okey. I have searched for info but haven’t found anything. So it should be possible to have a graph that I have configured in oh3 to show up on a page?

If you have configured a graph through the UI and saved that configuration, then most likely you are talking about having created a chart page. These are standalone pages, like the layout pages, and although you can easily cross link them in any number of ways, you cannot easily include a page as a widget in the grid of a layout page.

However, all the pieces that make up the chart pages can also be accessed by the custom widget creation UI under the Developer Tools.

If you look through the docs page on the custom widget components you will see that there’s a whole section on the various components of a chart.

Then, if you go to the configuration page of one of the charts you have made, and press the code button at the top you will see the yaml code that configures that particular chat and how that code utilizes the various components. It’s yaml code just like that which you can use in the custom widget editor to create a card that has a chart on it.

If you have not done any widget creation yet, then this will take a little longer to learn than a simple UI configuration process, but will be worth it in the end as you will have opened up the most powerful feature of the Main UI’s interface builder.

Alternatively if you don’t want a full-fledged chart but are just interested in a single trendline, the oh-cells that you can include on layout pages have a built in feature to display one item’s persisted data in the background of the item:

I see where you are going. After clicking around I can se a whole new world opening. I will have to dig in more on how to create widgets.

OH3 is like a new world, just awesome!

Have you made any progress on this? I’m trying to do the same but so far my attempts at using oh-chart directly in a widget or on a normal page have been met with emptiness.

this might guide you to find the root cause in case your charts are empty. Make sure you have a persistence service up and running and check if the UI shows a graph:

Thank you, in my case I can see data in the graphs I create on an actual graph page. But I would like to create a custom widget which among other elements has a graph.

I’m guessing what I see when I click the ‘code’ button for a graph is actually hosted inside an ‘oh-graph-page’, simply embedding the same code in an ‘oh-graph’ component in a custom widget does not work.

I’m right now trying to find which slots are supported by the oh-graph component. Or if that is even the way to go… .vue files are completely new to me, so different from 6502 assembly :smiley:.

Hmm, I’m getting the impression that oh-chart is not yet available in 3.0.x, but only got added to the main branch in January.

The component above that @JustinG shared is not oh-chart but oh-trend.

I am using this a lot in my widgets, mostly f7 cards. Here is a snipplet:

            - component: oh-trend
              config:
                trendItem: =[props.itemTemp]
                style:
                  --f7-theme-color-bg-color: transparent
                  background: var(--f7-theme-color-bg-color)
                  filter: opacity(20%)
                  position: absolute
                  width: 100%
                  height: 100%
                  top: 0
                  left: 2
                  z-index: 0

Not quite. The complete code from one of the chart pages that you build in the chart editor needs to be in an oh-chart component which itself is best served if it’s on something else with a background such as a card.

Chart card example yaml

  default:
    - component: oh-chart

        chartType: ""

      slots:
        grid:
          - component: oh-chart-grid
            config:
              includeLabels: true
        xAxis:
          - component: oh-time-axis

I think you are correct though that this require one of the 3.1 versions, though I can’t say for sure.

I was indeed able to see at least the axes in a widget on my main branch development version (but I don’t have persistence set up there).

For now muelli1967’s oh-trend approach will do, maybe I’ll switch to one of the 3.1 milestones, maybe I’ll wait for the official release.

Thanks!

Decided to switch to the 3.1.0 milestone and I can indeed do what I intended there: put a graph in a custom widget with several other components:

Looks nice, maybe you can share the code?

Sure, this the widget. It has the items baked into it and does not yet have/use the configuration.

Unfortunately the graph does not update automatically.

Thank your for the Code. The semicircle is working for me, the graph not.
Looks like I need to update my system from 3.0.2 to 3.1 :frowning:

Correct, the graph component is not available in custom widgets prior to 3.1.0.

Great widget Daniel, thanks!
I took the chance to improve it with Props settings, so it’s more flexible.

Hi
Unfortunately this widget doesn’t work…

Can’t set anything in the config can someone help me?
Or is it the code

I created the code under settings widgets…

Thanks

Have no idea why this isn’t working OH3.1.1 is installed!

…have a look in the german forum where you also posted your question.

Cheers - Peter

Looks good. My radial gauges work, but it wont chart the same figures, any thoughts as to why?
