Delete an autocharge vehicle

The Delete autocharge vehicle action removes a vehicle from the Peblar charger’s autocharge list. Once removed, that car no longer authorizes itself when it is plugged in.

Note

Autocharge is only available on Peblar chargers that are equipped with power line communication hardware.

Using this action in YAML

If you work directly in YAML, or you want to know exactly what Home Assistant does under the hood, this section has the technical reference. It lists the field names you use in YAML, their types, and which ones are required.

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

ActionAn action makes Home Assistant do something, for example, turn on a light, send a notification, or activate a scene. Automations and scripts run a list of actions. [Learn more]
action: peblar.delete_vehicle_token
data:
  config_entry_id: "01234567890abcdef01234567890abcd"

Options in YAML

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.
