Helper Input_DateTime (Date Only), Use the Energy Date Selection Card for Date Selection

[psjnr84]

Hi Team,

Would it be possible to use a card similar to the Energy Date Selection Card and allow it to be bound to an input_datetime helper (date object only)?

This would be a far better user experience for people than the current entities interpretation, which has far too many button clicks to select a date from the helper.

Mushroom Entity Card for input_datetime helper

Popup on default tap_action on the mushroom card presents this window.

Clicking on the data picker presents the user with a calendar view allowing them to select the relevant date. Once selected, they have to click "OK" and instead of going back to the main entity, it goes back to here:

At which point to navigate back to the main area where the user started, they have to click the X on the top left of this window.

In my opinion this is far too many clicks for a user to have a good experience selecting a date against their input_datetime picker.

It would be far easier to use the same date picker as the energy dashboard has, as below, to allow the user to select a date from this picker and have it update right away and take them back to the place where they started, in as little as a few confirmatory clicks.

Clicking the date calendar picker in this card, results in a popup that allows for a flexible date selection, and then clicking Select, executes the change and takes the user back to their original screen where the date now reflects what they picked:

As a side, if this was possible, could this date picker card be restricted to allow for only single entry date selection rather than multiple as it exists within the energy screens, allowing for full compatibilty with the input_datetime helper?

Thanks Team and keep up the good work!
