FR: input_datetime

[thundershare]

Hi Guys,

is possible add input_datetime intarface? I have a input_datetime that manages time triggers of all my wakeup routines. It will be cool if i can modify it from Nspanel :-)

Thanks

Hi,
any plans to put that request on the roadmap?
I have now 3 panals working (with a lot of trouble to flash the TFTs) but I realy like the panels now.

So also from here a big thank you on your work.

To "upgrade" my panals further, I also would like to have the possibility to change a input_datetime (date and time) to set the next alarm time.
Can you please check the possibillity for that?

Thanks.

The challenge here is to develop a control for date/time. Show the info is easy, but get the input from user requires some design of an interface. For numbers is a bit easier, as we already created a keyboard (used on alarm pin code), but it probably would require also some +/- buttons to do the change without having to open a keyboard.

Any idea from your side?
How is this interface in Home Assistant? Any card you like more for this?

I'm not promising anything... 😜

The main thing would be to have the input_datetime showed and have it changeable on the NSpanel.

At the moment on a dashboard I have the input displayed like in the attachment. When I tap the date a popup appears (2. attachment) and I can choose the date. For the hour and minutes (separatly) I can enter a number to change it. Something like that would be nice on the NSpanel.

For the wishlist (to have it more flexible): :-)

1. While in the setup of an input_datetime it is selectable to have "only date", "only time" and "date and time" adapt the display on the NSpanel to the setting of the input_datetime or have it selectable in the blueprint of the panel.
2. show the input_datetime on a BUTTON PAGE of the panel
3. Make it changeable through:
   • Popup-input (Date selectable or input numbers)
   • Arrows up, down or +/--

I dont't know what is posible there. But while you asked for it ;-)

Thank you for looking into this.

for me entering the numbers is already enough :-)

The above are nice but a simpler solution to implement is

1. Ability to display the time
2. Buttons to allow time to be changed up/ down
3. Each will have their own use case so an ability in the blueprint to change the increment ( 1 min / 10 min / 30 min etc ) would be a nice to have.

I have no displays other than the panel so they do all the work and do it pretty well ! I just need some basic input.
