Input_string component

I often find myself wanting to store string snippets. It’d be great to have a component similar to input_slider or input_select that worked with free-form strings (without needing to resort API calls outside of HA’s services).

It would have the following services:

  • set_value (replaces existing value with a specified value)
  • append_value (append without first having to grab existing value)
  • clear_value

Like input_slider, you could check its value with a template.

Yes! We need this!

Bump… highly support this

I love this idea. Would open up to many more options with memory and recall within HASS.
