Numbers, text, dates and times

Set the value of number, text, date, time and datetime entities and their input helpers.

Each of these domains has set-value. Home Assistant checks the value against the entity’s own limits, such as its minimum, maximum and step:

ha-bridge number set-value 180 oven_target
ha-bridge text set-value "Back at 5" display_message
ha-bridge input_text set-value "Bins out tonight" note
ha-bridge date set-value 2026-12-01 next_service
ha-bridge time set-value 06:45 alarm_time
ha-bridge datetime set-value "2026-10-03 18:00" away_until

Domain	Value
`number`	A number
`text`, `input_text`	Any text
`date`	`YYYY-MM-DD`
`time`	`HH:MM` or `HH:MM:SS`
`datetime`	A date and time, such as `2026-10-03 18:00`, in Home Assistant’s time zone unless it has an offset

For input numbers, see Input numbers.

Input date and time helpers

input_datetime set-datetime sets --date, --time or both, or one of --datetime and --timestamp (seconds since the Unix epoch):

ha-bridge input_datetime set-datetime wake_up --time 06:30
ha-bridge input_datetime set-datetime holiday_start --date 2026-12-20 --time 09:00
ha-bridge input_datetime set-datetime last_backup --timestamp 1790000000

input_text reload and input_datetime reload reload those helpers from YAML.
