Proposal

Currently, Scheduler can perform actions on following entity types: switch, light, climate, alarm panel. Proposal to extend the list of supported entity types, to include "helper-type" of entities:

• input_number
• input_boolean

Value

This feature would unlock more advanced cases of automation (eg. for the smart control of heat pumps, car chargers, etc). Current work-around is to use time triggers in an automation, which is not ideal:

• Time schedules are not located in one place, so you lose oversights: partly in scheduler component, partly in automations.
• In automations, we don't have the handy UI to modify time schedules, as we have in scheduler component.
