Using one sensor:

type: 'custom:neerslag-card'
title: Neerslag
entity: sensor.neerslag_buienalarm_regen_data

Using two sensors:

type: 'custom:neerslag-card'
title: Neerslag
entities:
  - sensor.neerslag_buienalarm_regen_data
  - sensor.neerslag_buienradar_regen_data

Note: If Home Assistant has not yet received data from the sensors, the card can remain blank.

Advanced configuration options:

Enable auto zoom to have the graph dynamically zoom in or out depending on the amount of rainfall.

Note: By default auto zoom is disabled. Which gives the graph a fixed starting position displaying low, medium and heavy rainfall. Auto zoom will continue on extreme rainfall. Before version 2022.07.07.1 this setting was set to true.

autozoom: false
