WTH - Date/time sensors are not recognized as date/time helpers for automations

WTH Date/time sensors are not recognized as date/time helpers for Automation.

Waking up in the morning at different times and want your automations to adapt to it?

Easy way of doing this, is to use the next alarm sensor from the companion app as a trigger. Unfortunately when creating an automation and using the time trigger, the sensor does not appear as a Value of date/time helper in the Gui and can only be edited via yaml.

From my point of view Time Trigger for Next Alarm can not be done via the Gui.

You can do it in the ui by changing that step over to yaml.

Well it is called WTH for a reason isn’t :sunglasses:
I feel especially as a newbie that does not make sense.

Maybe the title could be refreshed to something like “WTH Date/time sensors are not recognized as date/time helpers for automations”. As it seems to be something that can be done through yaml but through UI search is not found.

Yeah, we’ll maybe you should clarify that it the wth then :wink:
