List autocharge vehicles

The List autocharge vehicles action retrieves the vehicles stored in the Peblar charger’s autocharge list. The action returns the list as response data, which you can use in an automation or script to inspect which cars are allowed to charge.

Autocharge lets a car authorize itself. The charger recognizes the identifier the car’s own controller presents when it is plugged in, so no card or app is needed.

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_vehicle_tokens. A basic example looks like this:

action: peblar.list_vehicle_tokens
data:
  config_entry_id: "01234567890abcdef01234567890abcd"

Options in YAML

Response data

The action returns an object with a single vehicles member. Each vehicle has an evcc_id and an alias:

vehicles:
  - evcc_id: "NL-ABC-0123456789-1"
    alias: "The blue one"
  - evcc_id: "NL-ABC-9876543210-2"
    alias: "The other one"

Good to know

• Only administrators can run this action.
• An identifier belongs to a specific car, so treat it the way you would any other credential.
