@joostlek Thank you for everything you've done. :) I am happy to say that this is the last platform. Ta-da~! After this PR, we will add some minor PRs to fix functional issues or add some entities, etc.
Could you let us know the progress about this PR?
Oh hi! 👋
We've discussed this PR at length and concluded that it isn't valid. We shouldn't be using a text platform to work around things like this.
In the end, the use of a time entity is a good route to go; however, we are not able to reset it to None (and thus disable the timer).
The conclusion right now is thus, that we don't have a good way to represent these control points in Home Assistant. We do think the use case for these specific entities is small, and therefore, we recommend not including these controls in Home Assistant at this point.
