WTH we have button, select, and number entities, why not datetime and text?

All input_* helpers have a corresponding platforms so that integrations can use them (see below). If we add datetime and text, we’ve got full parity. Any reason we can’t add them? Happy to put some PRs up if there’s buy-in. Architecture proposal with more details here and here

Input entity
input_boolean
input_button
input_datetime
input_number
input_select
input_text

Platform
switch
button
?? (new platform needed)
number
select
?? (new platform needed)

I think you mean Domain rather than Platform.
