• Small size makes it unobtrusive in any room.

Real-Time Visualization: Plotly Graph Card Integration

Visualize real-time data in Home Assistant with the Plotly Graph Card in Home Assistant.

• Display live target positions and speeds on an interactive map.
• Gain insights into every movement at a glance.
• Enhance your Home Assistant dashboard with dynamic visuals.

Setting up the Plotly Graph Card

1. Install HACS: Follow the official instructions to install HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).

2. Install Plotly Graph Card: Search for and install the Plotly Graph Card integration in HACS.

3. Add a Custom Plotly Graph Card:

   • Go to your Home Assistant dashboard and click Edit Dashboard.
   • Select Add Card and choose Plotly Graph Card.
   • Click Show Code Editor to open the YAML configuration editor.
   • Copy and paste the custom configuration from the Git repository.

4. Replace the Placeholder IDs:

   • Use your text editor’s find & replace feature.
   • Replace replace_me placeholders with your sensor name (e.g., sensy_one_1617c8 or living_room if renamed).

Get in the Zone: Customize Your Detection Areas

Set up custom zones directly from your Home Assistant dashboard and create up to 10 detection zones and one exclusion zone.

• Each zone reports a presence, movement, and target count sensor.
• Use these data points to trigger precise, zone-based automations.
• Customize horizontal and vertical boundaries for each zone.

Example Zone Configuration:

• X Begin: -125
• X End: 125
• Y Begin: 175
• Y End: 425
