BetterTrends

A custom Home Assistant integration, that calculates trend values for entities and displays result in a nice way.

Currently only up to three entities are supported, but this will change in the near future.

Screenshot

How it works

• Add your existing entities to calculate trend for

• Entities data is fetched every (A) seconds
• If (B) entity data sets are fetched, trend is calculated and sensor.bettertrends_sensor_<your_entity> is updated.

• A: data fetch interval
• B: datasets fetched before calculating new trend value
• C: current datasets collected
• D: Total datasets required to calculate trend value (equals B)

You can click on A (interval), or B (steps) to change number.
