<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">input_text</code> component allows the user to define values that can be controlled via the frontend and can be used within conditions of automation. Changes to the value stored in the text box generate state events. These state events can be utilized as <code class="highlighter-rouge">automation</code> triggers as well.</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>
