Update the charge schedules of a Renault vehicle

Use this action to update the charge schedules of a Renault vehicle, so it charges at the times you choose, for example during off-peak energy hours. You can update one or more schedules in a single call.

Charge control may require an active subscription, such as the Pack EV Remote Control, and is not available on all vehicles.

Using this action from the user interface

If you prefer building automations and scripts visually, Home Assistant walks you through this action step by step. You pick what to target, tweak a few options, and save. No YAML knowledge required.

To update the charge schedules from an automation or a script:

1. Go to Settings > Automations & scenes.
2. Open an existing automation or script, or select Create automation > Create new automation.
3. If you’re setting up a new automation, add a trigger in the When section. Scripts don’t need a trigger. They run when something else calls them.
4. In the Then do section, select Add action.
5. Search for the action Renault: Update charge schedule and select it.
6. Select the vehicle in the Vehicle field and enter the Schedules.
7. Select Save.

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 renault.charge_set_schedules. A basic example looks like this:

action: renault.charge_set_schedules
data:
  vehicle: abcde1234567890abcde1234567890ab
  schedules:
    - id: 1
      activated: true
      monday:
        startTime: "T12:00Z"
        duration: 15

Options in YAML

This action does not support targets. Select the vehicle through the Vehicle field.

Good to know

The schedules option takes one or more schedules, which are all set in the same call. Each schedule is a mapping with the following keys:

• id: Required. The schedule number, from 1 to 5, depending on the vehicle.
• activated: Optional. Whether the schedule is active. If you leave it out, the current setting is kept.
• monday to sunday: Optional. The schedule for each day. If you leave a day out, its current setting is kept. If you set a day to an empty value, its setting is cleared. When you set a day, it must contain a startTime key in UTC, in the THH:MMZ format, and a duration key in minutes.

- id: 1
  activated: true
  monday:
    startTime: "T12:00Z"
    duration: 15
- id: 2
  activated: false
  monday:
    startTime: "T12:00Z"
    duration: 15
