Date/Time
The Date/Time integration is built for the controlling and monitoring of timestamps on devices.
Building block integration
The date/time integration cannot be directly used. You cannot create your own datetime entities using this integration. This integration is a building block for other integrations to use, enabling them to create datetime entities for you.
If you are looking for a way to create a Date/Time entity, please take a look at the Date/Time helper.
