Describe the issue you are experiencing

I have the "Energy distribution today" component placed on a normal dashboard and it generally works fine. But if i leave the browser tab open over the night (new day), it just shows the latest values from yesterday (ie. values from midnight), but does not update to the today values.

All other components around it update just fine.

See attached video: values update after a full page reload and then it works fine until midnight.

(Not sure if this is a frontend or backend issue - feel free to move the issue to the Core repo if applicable)

The "Energy distribution today" should update to current date if its over midnight, without a full page reload

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Have the energy settings configured
2. Place "Energy distribution today" on a normal dashboard
3. See it updateing
4. Let Browser tab open over midnight
5. Values are frozen
6. Refresh page
7. New values show up and update

Just found this from 2021, same issue https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/10269

~~Do you have an energy date selection card on your dashboard? I believe this behavior is typically handled by that card.~~

Hmm actually I am not sure.

[karwosts]

Out of curiousity, does it work correctly if you just leave the default energy dashboard open overnight (and not a custom panel?)

[DanielWeigl]

@karwosts sorry, did just see your question yesterday - I tried to open the /energy tab over night, and it behaves the same way. ie. it stays on yesterday, but in this context it is consistent, because all the stats, numbers and the datepicker around it are also from yesterday.

In the other case where it is embedded in a live data view, it would make sense to show the current (ie todays) values

I'm experiencing the same issue with type: energy-usage-graph card. It keeps showing the date it was opened.

The no-refresh issue with embedded energy cards still exists. (Core 2024.10.1). Please fix it.

Issue is still there in version 2025.2. Had anybody found the way to solve (except manual refresh every morning :))? Thank you.

If you're having this issue, can you describe to me what kind of workflow you typically have that you notice this?

There's definitely code here that's supposed to advance the date at 1:00AM, but I wonder if the timer gets lost somehow.

• Do you have this problem on an always on wallpanel that is continuously showing the energy page?
• Is this on a web browser that spends a significant portion of the time minimized, or has a different tab focused?
• Is it on a PC that spends time asleep during the night?

I fixed two bugs in this area in #24563, I'm not 100% sure it's the same issue you're reporting here, but lets test again after next month's release.

Mine is a tablet showing it on a custom page, using the widget. It's always running (mounted to the wall)

Mine is also on a tablet on the wall which is on 24/7. It's a card with type: energy-usage-graph (core: 2025.4.2). I need to close and re-open the HA app to refesh it.

same problem on my wall-tablet running in 24/7 mode with Companion-App. The energy-distribution card (core 2025.4.2) doesn't make the update at 1.00 (AM).
I am using

• kiosk_mode: hide_header: true in the dashboard configuration. The dashboard is a combination of horizontal and vertical stack cards.
