Scatterplot of Sun Azimuth vs Elevation

[kaijk]

Objective: generate an elevation/azimuth arc, for the sun,

Note that show_value: shows the Y value and Undefined for X. Make sure the sensors have state_class: measurement.

Thank you very much. I just stumbled across this and did not yet familiarise with this integration. Do you know, if one could take this to the next level:

• show the arc in a 3D graph (axis being north-south, west-east, some sort of hight)
• take a map as underlying picture with the coordinates of HA at its center (or even better openstreetmap or google maps)

This would be very nice for the planing of solar panels or for sun-depending automations. :-)
