+### Sensors of datetime device class with offsets
+
+When the time is provided using a sensor of the timestamp device class, an offset can be provided. This offset will be added to (or subtracted from when negative) the sensor value.
+
+For example, this trigger fires 5 minutes before the phone alarm goes off.
+
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - trigger:
+      - platform: time
+        at:
+          entity_id: sensor.phone_next_alarm
+          offset: -00:05:00
+    action:
+      - service: light.turn_on
+        target:
+          entity_id: light.bedroom
+```
+
+{% important %}
+When using a positive offset the trigger might never fire. This is due to the sensor changing before the offset is reached. For example, when using a phone alarm as a trigger, the sensor value will change to the new alarm time when the alarm goes off, which means this trigger will change to the new time as well.
