Empty graph with entities without history states

Describe the bug Empty graph with entities without state history. A similar problem #41.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Stop update entity state, exp., sensor.voltage1 by mqtt publish
2. Exclude entity in component recorder
3. Only in test hass! Clear entity history states. Call service recorder.purge with data {"keep_days": 0, "repack": true}.
4. Restart hass
5. Set state for entity, exp. for voltage = 12.3
6. Add mini-graph-card on view

type: custom:mini-graph-card
show:
  graph: bar
  labels: true
entities:
  - entity: sensor.volatge1
  - entity: sensor.volatge2
  - entity: sensor.volatge3

1. See empty graph

Expected behavior Graph card show bars current entities state.

Screenshots

Home Assistant Version: 0.93 Tested: 0.92.2

mini-graph-card Version: v0.3.3

Additional context I exclude domain sensor and include entities those that are needed off history. Because i have a lot sensors and i want to see only current value.

Hey, Thanks for the extensive report! The graph is completely based on the entity history and will therefore not work without history data, (history data also includes the latest/current state), so this is kind of expected behaviour

Could possibly add a fallback to use the current state if no history is available.

Also, check out the bar-card, could possibly be used in place of this card for your use case https://github.com/custom-cards/bar-card
