Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I will use on a e paper the qr_code, ok that run but hte value is static.
i will use in Home Assistant a input text to update the content
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
Example code from qr_code template it:
qr_code:
- id: homepage_qr
value: esphome.io
**My wish Example:**
- platform: homeassistant
id: remote_input_text_e_paper_213_p_qr
entity_id: input_text.e_paper_213_p_qr
on_value:
then:
- delay: 3s
qr_code:
- id: homepage_qr
value: |-
return id(remote_input_text_e_paper_213_p_qr).state.c_str();
Alternate:
qr_code:
- id: homepage_qr
value: id(remote_input_text_e_paper_213_p_qr)
then i can use homepage_qr in the normaly QR
If i use this now then is this the text"id(remote_input_text_e_paper_213_p_qr)" and not the value from the id
**Additional context**
i think this is all, thanks

Research direction
Start by locating the qr_code component and its value configuration, then review how the Home Assistant input_text entity is exposed through on_value. Compare the requested return expression and id reference with the component's current configuration behavior. Done means the QR content updates from the entity value instead of displaying the expression literally.
