Maybe best to contact the author direct via an issue on his github page as I'm not sure they are a regular here..

Hi Jose,

Here below an example flow using node-red-contrib-dashboard-sum-bars
It will gradually populate the chart.

Hello Jandva

Can we feed an array to this node? and if so what is the configuration of it ?

Thank you

Hi Jose,

I am only a user of that node. I don't think it is possible to feed an array to this node.
At least it is not documented (https://github.com/nazcasun/node-red-contrib-dashboard-sum-bars)

Hi Jose,

It isn't possible to send an array to the chart. Node-red-contrib-dashboard-sum-bars and node-red-contrib-dashboard-average-bars runs with a simple input value. For example, you can follow a temperature by sending every minute msg.payload = the_new_temperature_value (msg.payload = 18). I hope it's clearer.
