ember pick-a-date how to pull value? - ember.js

Question

There is a pick-a-date add-on for Ember found here.
{{pick-a-date date=(readonly date) on-selected=(action (mut date)) placeholder="Pick a date" options=(readonly extraPickadateOptions)}}
How would I pass a saved date value to the tag? The below (value=date) does not seem to work?
{{pick-a-date value=date date=(readonly date) on-selected=(action (mut date)) placeholder="Pick a date" options=(readonly extraPickadateOptions)}}
Or what if I wanted to change the value from 'date' to something different... for example dob... so it would 'mimic' this
{{input value=dob}}

I have also tried using this addon and faced same issue. I need date in timestamp format and I implemented like following. You can check this,
{{pikaday-input
value=inputDateValue
onSelection=(action 'setSelectedDate') }}
For getting the value and binding that to object, I added following code in action handler,
actions : {
setSelectedDate : function (date) {
//To get the timestamp in seconds
let timestamp = Math.floor(date.getTime() / 1000);
this.set("inputDateValue", date);
// Used timestamp for setting value to object
record.set("dateTime", timestamp);
}
}
For setting the value I used folowing code,
if(record.get("dateTime") {
let date = record.get("dateTime") * 1000;
let dateValue = new Date(date);
this.set("inputDateValue", dateValue);
}
