Animation not working plus a feature request about ha-energy-overview-card

[Ultrawipf]

Maybe related issue with the animation scaling:
It seems to be way too slow and not linear. Only really gets fast near the limit.

With a global animation power of 500, min 1, max 50 a measured value of 400W and a value of 800W, the 800W animation runs 20x in the time the 400W runs through once and a 5W measurement is almost the same speed as a 100W.

I will investigate this issue 👍🏼

@antgustech as per your feature request: You can add a helper entity in your home assistant summing up / averaging all values.
Then you can add this to the card.

Great card! I love it!
Is it possible to make animation dynamic? E.g. now it it is stopped at zero consumtion, runs at min speed if consumtion is below treshold and run at max speed when above treshold.
I'd love to have it really proportional to consumtion, e.g. be zero at no consumption and then gradually increase the speed to maximum at defined max value, perhaps being constant if consumption above the max. Sometning like:
current_speed = max_speed * current_consumption / max_consumption

@mirekmal thank you!
The animation is actually dyanmic, scaling linearly with the amount of power consumed.
This is actually in the thread which tracks the bug.

I will investigate this issue 👍🏼

It looks like I might have been to quick to report. Simply restarting HA seems to have fixed the issue and its animating fine now. :)

I already have a (well my old) entity card thats sums it up. It that is the thing, its an actual separate card. Would love to get it into the same card as yours somehow. :)

@antgustech I think I don't understand this 100%
What exactly is the change you require for your use-case?

[mirekmal]

Just updated to the latest version and now I can see the difference! Thanks a lot!

@antgustech I will close this bug because the issue seems to have resolved.
If you have annother feature request, feel free to open a new issue :)
