Trouble with input_datetime as automation trigger

[jivesinger]

@boyakasha1 I was able to get your automation to work using :

value_template: '{{ states.sensor.time.state == (states.input_datetime.weekday_time.attributes.timestamp | int | timestamp_custom("%H:%M", False)) }}'

which I found here:

Input_datetime initial value with time only

BTW, I solved the trigger with this: trigger: - platform: template value_template: '{{ states.sensor.time.state == (states.input_datetime.wakeup_dads_alarm.attributes.timestamp | int | timestamp_custom("%H:%M", False)) }}' not the best, not the most elegant … but it works for now
