Request advice on using a time and date helper to set the irrigation start time.

I have irrigation systems running remotely and need to be able to change the start run time without using the yaml code. I thought of using a time helper. However, my attempts have been unsuccessful. The ideal situation would be to enter a time in the UI that sets the start time of the enabled sequence.

Take a look at the load_schedule service call. It Allows you to alter a schedule dynamically. Note: It is not persistent so after a restart you will have to do it again (perhaps use an automation).
