Manual input
With Custom Date you can specify the date and time manually in ISO 8601 time format. Of course, you also have the option of inserting a variable here.
An ISO 8601 time specification has the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.
Year, month and day must be separated by a hyphen -. The time is separated by spaces or T from the date. Hour, minute and second are separated by a colon :.
For example, you would specify 06/28/2023 at 10:13 as follows:
2023-06-28T10:13
If you don't specify a time, it will next state trigger at 00:00 of the specified day.
If the specified time is in the past, it is next state triggered immediately.
