Alternative for select to set start in relative

[MBakerSE]

Hi,
First of all - great custom component! Now to my question:
Previous versions of this component used the "numbers" entity to set the start_in_relative (delayed start) e.g. for my dishwasher. This was great, because I could set the exact time to when I wanted it to start based on some calculations i made (energy price, solar production etc.)
But now the delayed start is a select entity, which only allows some set values for selection.

Would it be possible to add both? A selector might be easier for some, but the 30 min timeslots are not as precise as a numbers entity.

Or is there some workaround which I'm missing?

It's true that it used to be a number entity but it has been a select for well over a year, I believe. The appliances themselves typically have a 1h resolution if you set the delay at the appliance so 30min seem like a reasonable compromise.
If it's really important to you to be more precise than that you can use the Start Program service and pass the delay parameter with the value you want.
