Also when i add timeline block, it affects all chart

Without timeline:

I was able to reproduce this when at least one entity ID in your timeline graphs doesn't exist. Make sure you haven't mistyped one. A single invalid / non-existent entity will make the card abort with an error. There is no additional checking for invalid entities in the YAML yet. I should probably add some.

To be sure, open the browser console (F12), reload the page and look for errors. If you see something like Uncaught TypeError: this._hass.states[t.entity] is undefined, then it's an invalid entity id.

Thanks for your answer! I created new lovelace view and added entity that for sure has data, that's what i've got:

It looks like it may be using an incompatible external version of Chartjs (Chart.bundle.min.js), which it shouldn't, as it's bundled with its own version to prevent issues like this.

How did you install the card ? Over HACS or manually ? If manually, did you install the prebuilt package or did you build it yourself / install the source package ?

[areyoufserious]

I Used HACS

[alexarch21]

Your HA version and install method ? What other custom cards do you have installed that display graphs in any way ?

[areyoufserious]

Home Assistant 2022.2.0 Also installed:

• mini-graph-card
• kibibit Better Graph Colors
• Plotly Graph Card

[alexarch21]

I set up a new HA install with exactly the same version and custom cards as you and I was unfortunately unable to reproduce this. Everything seems to be working as expected.

The only idea left is to:

1. Make sure that it isn't a cache issue. Clear your browser cache and reload.
2. Create a new and empty history explorer card, add one single binary sensor by selecting it from the dropdown menu (to avoid mistyping the entity id).

If that still won't work, then I'm at a loss.

thanks a lot for trying to help and your efforts! i used different browser and it works looks like problem is somewhere in my browser

[areyoufserious]

however, smth strange still going on i wiped all google chrome cache, and it worked some time, then -- same error and i must wipe cache for HA domain again and again same in safari smth wrong with HA setup

I fixed an obscure bug in the timeline code that would sometimes make it so that timelines wouldn't properly show. I'm not 100% sure your issue is related, but it wouldn't hurt to try. In the newest V1.0.15 version. Let me know if it helped !

Thanks a lot, fix works!!!
