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. When a user selectes a new item, a state transition event is generated. This state event can be used in an `automation` trigger.
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: 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`.
