Time entity

A time is an entity that allows the user to input a time to an integration. Derive entity platforms from homeassistant.components.time.TimeEntity

Properties​

tip

Properties should always only return information from memory and not do I/O (like network requests). Implement update() or async_update() to fetch data.

native_valuetimeRequiredThe value of the time.

Other properties that are common to all entities such as icon, name etc. are also applicable.

Methods​

    # Implement one of these methods.

    def set_value(self, value: time) -> None:

    async def async_set_value(self, value: time) -> None:
