Hi, I've been using HA for a few years and having been using https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-time-picker-card/193327 for a time picker (alarm clock). Since I've started using HA there's been amazing progress on every front I can think of, but I'm still using this (not so beautiful) card to set my alarm. Is there a built-in time picker or other way everyone is setting datetime inputs? There's been no development on this card for years, so each update I'm praying it keeps working. 😄

Lovelace: Time Picker Card

Time Picker Card Hey all, this is a custom lovelace card for selecting the time of Input Datetime entities. I developed this because I often found myself trying to change my alarm time on my phone, which can be a bit frustrating with the default datetime card. I wanted a more mobile friendly UI - buttons you can tap to quickly change the time...

An entity card pointed at an input datetime helper will let you pick times

Yes, I know, but that works quite janky when compared to this solution (which could explode at any time). You can customize what happens when you press the arrows, so setting/changing the alarm is just a few button presses away. The entity card can't compare.

Try this

It's based on button-card so pretty solid

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll keep that one on hand as a backup.

I tried that too, but to be fair the Minimalist repo is so cluttered, its hardly an option to install it for only that card. I mean, I did, and it doesnt work because of all the specific theme settings you need to comply with, and even then.... It's probably easier to keep the time-picker card working in the case of breaking changes via the HA Frontend...
