<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_datetime</code> component allows the user to define date and time values that can be controlled via the frontend and can be used within automations and templates.</p>
<p>To add three datetime inputs to your installation, one with both date and time, and one with date or time each, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="attributes" href="#attributes"></a> Attributes</h3>
<p>A datetime input entitys state exports several attributes that can be useful in automations and templates.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="restore-state" href="#restore-state"></a> Restore State</h3>
<p>This component supports the <code class="highlighter-rouge">restore_state</code> function which restores the state after Home Assistant has started to the value it has been before Home Assistant stopped. To use this feature please make sure that the <a href="/components/recorder/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">recorder</code></a> component is enabled and your entity does not have a value set for <code class="highlighter-rouge">initial</code>. Additional information can be found in the <a href="/components/recorder/#restore-state">Restore state</a> section of the <a href="/components/recorder/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">recorder</code></a> component documentation.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="services" href="#services"></a> Services</h3>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="automation-examples" href="#automation-examples"></a> Automation Examples</h2>
<p>The following example shows the usage of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_datetime</code> as a trigger in an automation (note that you will need a <a href="/components/sensor.time_date/">time sensor</a> elsewhere in your configuration):</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="c1"># Turns on bedroom light at the time specified.</span>

</code></pre>
</div>
<p>To dynamically set the <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_datetime</code> you can call <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_datetime.set_datetime</code>. The following example can be used in an automation rule:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="c1"># Sets input_datetime to '05:30' when an input_boolean is turned on.</span>
