List RFID tokens

The List RFID tokens action retrieves all RFID tokens stored in the Peblar charger’s standalone authorization list. The action returns the full list as response data, which you can use in an automation or script to inspect or react to the tokens configured on your 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.

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.list_rfid_tokens. 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.list_rfid_tokens
data:
  config_entry_id: "01234567890abcdef01234567890abcd"

Options in YAML

config_entry_id string Required

The ID of the Peblar charger config entry to retrieve the RFID token list from.

Response data

The action returns an object with a single tokens member. Each token has a uid and a description:

tokens:
  - uid: "04A1B2C3D4E5F6"
    description: "My Card"
  - uid: "04F6E5D4C3B2A1"
    description: "Work Badge"

Good to know

  • Only administrators can run this action.
  • Token UIDs identify a physical card or key fob, so treat them the way you would any other credential.

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.
