Bug: binary input in v0.11.0

After update to latest version v0.11.0 card refuse to use day/night binari sensor.

message

mini-graph-card
Entity not available: input_number.nighttime

In version v0.10.0 there was no problem.

But how is changed from sensor.day_night to input_number.nighttime?

Use the same entity in the card as you specified in configuration for this purpose. Otherwise the issue is meaningless and is not supposed to be even raised.

What you can do is:

1. Define a template sensor:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      night:
        icon_template: mdi:power-sleep
        value_template: >-
          {% if is_state('sun.sun','above_horizon') -%}
          {{ 0 | int }}
          {%- else -%}
          {{ 1 | int }}
          {%- endif %}

1. Add the sensor on the graph as a background:

      - entity: sensor.night
        color: some semi transparent color (darkish for light theme)
        unit: ''
        show_state: false
        show_indicator: false
        show_graph: true
        show_line: false
        show_fill: true
        show_points: false
        show_legend: false
        state_adaptive_color: false
        fixed_value: false
        aggregate_func: last
        y_axis: secondary

Surely you may use a binary_sensor alternatively + state_map but the state_map is currently not supported per-entity and you’ll see warnings in the browser then.

You would need something like a state_map to do this within mini-graph-card https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card#non-numeric-sensor-states

Could it be that you accidentally deleted your input_number.nighttime which was providing day/night as a simple 1/0 numeric value?

p.s.: Binary input doesn’t have ideal support yet (#505) but your case just seems to be a string; not a binary
