Plans for Set Input_Helper value

[blackie333]

Hello, would like to set Input_Helper value via assist.
My automations often use helpers because it's very convenient and common "variable".
Would like to use assist to change value of helper "WakeUpTime" for the morning alarm which is of type "Time" but can't find how to set value.
Seems that custom sentence would be a good solution but seems Input_Helper is not supported (yet).

The input_helper domain does not exist. Which domain do you want? How many other people want support for the same domain? Why are custom sentences not good enough?

I want to add ability to set a value to input helper via assist.
If it means to add a new domain so please add a domain.
I'm asking because I haven't found any other way how to do it.
Custom sentences are good and will be great when they support this new functionality.

You can set any input helper value (or any entity value, for that matter) with custom sentences and intent scripts. You can also do it with automations using sentence triggers.

I don't think there will be a set action specifically for input_datetime entities any time soon.

Thanks for the info.
I want to get time value via voice command(STT) and set the helper to that exact value, not choose 1 from pre-defined presets.
Not sure how exactly to set input_helper to a value received by voice command (f.e. "Set wakeup alarm to 6:35") ?

Have tried custom_sentence but can't figure out how to set a value to input_helper or variable (object with unsupported domain).
Have several automations which use this helper value for triggers with different offsets.

I said it before, the input_helper domain does not exist, you need input_datetime.
