Netatmo Wind Direction

[DaveAuld]

Hi there,
I am using the Netatmo integration, and unfortunately it reports the wind direction as cardinal points, e.g. N, S, NW, SE etc.

I was ideally looking at putting this value from the entity into the Header, but unfortunately it only shows 'NaN', (when setting in_header show option to 'raw' (See image below). I thought this would simply dump the raw entity value, but alas not.

So, alternatively can someone demonstrate a function that I could put into the data_generation option that would map the cardinal points to a value, e.g. N -> 0, E to 90 etc. etc. to either show in the header or as the trend? Or a method of doing something with the data from the wind entity.

This is my current card YAML:
`type: custom:apexcharts-card
color_list:

• Green
• Red
  show:
  loading: true
  header:
  show: true
  title: Wind
  show_states: true
  colorize_states: true
  graph_span: 1day
  all_series_config:
  stroke_width: 2
  yaxis:
• id: Speed
  decimals: 1
  series:
• entity: sensor.netatmo_wind_wind_strength
  type: area
  name: Speed
  yaxis_id: Speed
  show:
  extremas: true
• entity: sensor.netatmo_wind_direction
  type: line
  name: Direction
  yaxis_id: Direction
  show:
  in_chart: false
  in_header: raw`

and this is what it looks like with the 'NAN' showing in the header;

Thanks,
Dave

Ok, I came back and had a look at this today and got something that appears to work.

using the transform in the series, and setting it to;
transform: "var d={'N': 0, 'NE': 45, 'E': 90, 'SE': 135, 'S': 180, 'SW': 225, 'W': 270, 'NW': 315,}; return d[x];"

I did get things mapping across from the string to a value, as you can see below. The chart has the direction entity set as area on the right y-axis with the range 0 to 359;

Not sure if there is a better way to do this........ maybe some other guru can come up with a more elegant transform.
