Reviewing insights is very helpful to check performance on my power usage.

Especially when combining my biggest power consumers in one graph and compare them with my solar power and hourly net pricing.

 ![HomeyInsights](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/e/ce2027a24b63d432ec662d483a3e0f0cca9c10f1.jpeg)

Right now it cost me a lot of effort to make these comparisons, and I want to check it daily to see how I am doing.

To have an oversight of hourly pricing for the whole day, I upload an snip from PBTH ([power by the hour](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.gruijter.powerhour/Power-by-the-Hour/)) to a server with the [FTP Client](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.FtpClient/FTP-Client/).

On my Android phone I use Widgetify. It is not in the playstore anymore, but you can download the APK searching on [google](https://www.google.com/search?q=widgetify+android+apk).  
So this is my phones widgets which update every day.

On my wife’s iPhone I use [Widget Web](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/widget-web/id1522169352).

Now I want to create another phone widgets to display my Power insights.  
Is there a possibility to create an image from a predefined insight graph, automatically in the background?

Or does anyone know of another solution to use the data from Homey to create this graph and convert it to an image?

From all these apps, Insights Graphs is the one you’ll need.

I found it, and made some try outs. It is a good start and better then nothing, but I miss the option to combine multiple data in 1 graph, like you can with insights.

I am also trying to work with Export Insights CSV now  
I trying to create an export to google spreadsheet, make a graph in google exactly like I want it, and then export a screenshot in the background with google scripts. Hope that works,
