🌟 Universal Functions and new plot types 🌟

The biggest and most complex release of the year!

Open for beta testing!

• YAMLs of these examples here
• WIP readme here

What's Changed

Improvements

• Universal functions allow you to communicate across the yaml, combine datapoints from multiple entities into one, add the state of a sensor to the name of the trace, etc.
• show_value now can print out of the plotting area
• Semi-persistant cache: resetting the plot doesn't delete data anymore
• Efficiency: offset entities share the same cache with non-offset ones.
• Added almost all plotly plot types, including histograms, 3dscatter, surface, heatmap, piechart, ... Find inspiration here (maps not included)
• Added a delta filter (more to come!)
• New raw_plotly_config yaml option to disable all in-built defaults (useful for non-standard plots)
• Home Assistant themes' color variables available inside Universal Functions ($fn)
• Respect fixed range axes when pinch zooming
• Improved pinch to zoom algorithm
• Universal $fn functions can access other values from the yaml, even if those are also $fn computed.
• UI Informs of out of order $fn dependencies.
• $fn execution is strictly defined (top to bottom, shallow to deep, aka depth first)
• Errors in the yaml or functions don't interrupt plotting but are shown in the UI with intuitive phrasing.
• ...

Breaking Changes

The UI will let you know which plots are affected, how, and what to do.

• no_theme: renamed to ha_theme (inverted logic)
• no_default_layout: replaced with more general raw_plotly_config
• offset: renamed to time_offset to avoid conflicts with bar-offset
• lambda: removed, use filters instead
• significant_changes_only: removed, it is now always set to false
• minimal_response: removed, if you need attributes use the 'attribute' parameter instead.
• show_value.right_margin: removed, the values are shown out of the plotting area. use time_offsets to make space for them

Beware: beta version, APIs may change
