The time and date (`time_date`) sensor platform simple displays the time in various formats, the date, or both.
To enable this sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: time_date
display_options:
- 'time'
- 'date'
- 'date_time'
- 'time_date'
- 'time_utc'
- 'beat'
```
- **display_options** array (*Required*): The option to display. The types *date_time* and *time_date* shows the date and the time. The other types just the time or the date. *beat* shows the [Swatch Internet Time](http://www.swatch.com/en_us/internet-time).
