Hi! I want to have the state of my dehumidifier shown in an history graph. The sensor "humidifier.luftentfeuchter" has 3 entities. Is there a way to show only 1 entitiy? All 3 entities seem to be "combined" into a single "entity". All I want is to see if it's on or off in a simple 24 hour history graph (without units since I only want ON/OFF state). How can I do this?

That's just the special handling for how climate/humidifier is handled. If you want to graph on/off only, make a template binary sensor entity.

Thank you, got it working with a helper! 🙂

hey @rigid wave , can I ask one more thing that's unrelated to the topic or should I open anohter one for that matter? My question is: how do I control a humidifier trough home assistant? I want to automate it in order to automatically turn it on before bedtime, off when in bed an on when waking up until certain humidity is reached.
Again, I'm running into this problem, that one entity are multiple things. Everything is under the device "humidifier.luftentfeuchter". On screenshot#2, there are controls to turn it on/off etc. How do I insert them into an automation? When I add the humidifier to a "Device action" in Automations, I can't select anything.

You're mixing up devices and entities.

So ignoring device actions for a moment, you can look at what actions are available for humdifier entities.
You should find turn_on, turn_off, set_humidity, etc
