+
+The `input_select` component allows the user to define a list of values that can be selected via the frontend and can be used within conditions of automation. 
+
+To enable this platform, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+input_select:
+  who_cooks:
+    name: Who cooks today
+    options:
+     - Paulus
+     - Anne Therese
+    initial: Anne Therese
+    icon: mdi:panda
+  living_room_preset:
+    options:
+      - Visitors
+      - Visitors with kids
+      - Home Alone
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **[alias]** (*Required*): Alias for the input.
+- **name** (*Optional*): Friendly name of the input.
+- **options** array (*Optional*): List of options to choose from
+- **initial** (*Optional*): Initial value when Home Assistant starts.
+- **icon** (*Optional*): Icon for entry.
+
+Pick an icon that you can find on [materialdesignicons.com](https://materialdesignicons.com/) to use for your input and prefix the name with `mdi:`. For example `mdi:car`, `mdi:ambulance`, or  `mdi:motorbike`.
