Delete an RFID token

The Delete RFID token action deletes an RFID token from the Peblar charger’s standalone authorization list. Once deleted, that token can no longer be used to authorize charging sessions on the charger.

Note

This action is only available on Peblar chargers that are equipped with an RFID reader. The standalone authorization list lives on that reader.

In YAML, refer to this action as peblar.delete_rfid_token. A basic example looks like this:

Tip

You don’t need to edit YAML to use these examples. Copy a YAML snippet from this page, open the automation editor in Home Assistant, and press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac). Home Assistant automatically converts the pasted YAML into the visual editor format, whether it’s a full automation, a single trigger, a condition, or an action.

Automation: revoke guest access when guest mode ends

When you turn off guest mode, delete the guest’s RFID token so the card no longer authorizes a charging session.

Deleting a token is permanent. Only delete a token you no longer want to grant access to, and add it again when you do.
