To dynamically set the `input_datetime` you can call
`input_datetime.set_datetime`. The following example can be used in an
automation rule:
`input_datetime.set_datetime`. The values for `date` and `time` must be in a certain format for the call to be successful.
You can use either `strftime("%Y-%m-%d")`/`strftime("%H:%M:%S")` or `timestamp_custom("%Y-%m-%d", true)`/`timestamp_custom("%H:%M:%S", true)` filter respectively.
The following example can be used in an automation rule:
{% raw %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
# Sets input_datetime to '05:30' when an input_boolean is turned on.
