Graphical display: questions and evolution

Development
1

When I use the graphical display function, I realize that the behavior is a bit confusing. The example of my solar panel integration is as follows:

By default, I display MQTT devices set to Maximum value: 6000 and in the dashboard I set my graph to Default interval: last 24 hours

Here’s what I get:

So far, so good (except that I expected to see line 6, which corresponds to 6000, this is a detail).

But if I decide to display the last 24 hours, then the graph scale is adjusted:

The issue in my case is that the graph of electricity production is on a scale VERY different from the other two, which makes the visualization not very interesting, as it is good to have the same scale on these 3 graphs, regardless of the interval displayed.

Would it be possible to find a solution to this? An option in the graph that would say:
Adjust the graph scale to the received values: yes / no?

Moreover, is it possible / planned to be able to display multiple values in the same graph? In my case, this would allow me to « merge » my 3 graphs into one, a bit like in my Solaredge app:

That’s it for my thought of the day!

This is already the case normally!

I think I’ve got it! You just need to add some features :wink:

However, I think there’s an issue, or maybe I misconfigured it.

My MQTT device:

My dashboard display:

The graph is correct, but the legend is not…

This is the name of the device being used. You need to create another device! In Gladys, a device is not really designed to have multiple functionalities of the same type.

Damn… I unnecessarily complicated my life! I had created a device

It’s definitely better indeed :slight_smile:
In the end, it saves a lot of space!

However, is it possible to display a time value in the dashboard?
I want to display the date/time of the last data update received, and I can’t figure out how to do it:

The string sent by Node-red:

What the dashboard shows:

I’ve looked through the different features but haven’t found anything related to a date. Did I miss something?

This is not possible! In fact, Gladys already has the date of the last received value, it’s just not displayed. I think there were proposals to display it when you hover over the value.

OK, I understand. Thanks for your answer. I’ll check out that suggestion then :wink:
