Set Bar Chart Y-Axis dynamically, to handle negative values
By default, the Bar Chart will not display negative values, such as low temperature data, without fixing the Y-Axis minimum values in the Chart node UI.
This flow looks at the incoming data and identifies the minimum value. If it's less than zero, the msg.ui_control "ymin" value is set to that value, which formats the scale in the chart node.
