[Feature request] Enhancing bar-card capability of managing 'time format'

[liuk4friends]

Bar-card works flawlessy with 'history_stats' but, as you probably know, 'history_stats' reports time in a strange way. If I'm not wrong, 'history_stats' reports minutes in a decimal way. For instance, when 'history_stats' reports '1.91h', the correct time format should be '01:54' (one hour and fifty-four minutes)

So, we are forced to use a template for converting '1.91h' to a more readable format, ie '01h 54m'.

An example below:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      luca_time_at_home_readable:
        friendly_name: "Luca tempo in casa (leggibile)"
        entity_id: sensor.luca_time_at_home
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.luca_time_at_home', 'value')}}"

If I configure 'bar-card' with this template, the result is that 'bar-card' doesn't show the correct amount of the bar itself. I mean that the bar is always ‘full’ and doesn’t show any kind of progression. If I choose a color, it is always ‘fully colored’. I'm attaching two screenshot because "a picture is worth more than a thousand words"

Here bar-card works perfectly ...

Here it doesn’t work...

So, I wonder if in the future 'bar-card' will be able to handle the 'standard time format' correctly. I would like to stress that your custom-card is superb! Thank you in advance, Luca

+1 on this. I was trying just now to implement a custom bar chart to see how much time I've been siting at my computer using history_stats and ran into this issue :(

Another simpler way to do it would be letting the user choose what it displays on the Value field so we could use template strings directly there!
