Remove precondition schedule

The Remove precondition schedule action deletes a location-based preconditioning schedule from your Tesla vehicle. You identify the schedule to remove by its schedule ID.

Preconditioning warms the battery for improved performance and warms up or cools down the cabin so the car is comfortable by a set time on the days you choose. Use this action to clean up preconditioning schedules you no longer need, for example removing a schedule after a change in your routine.

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 remove a precondition schedule 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. From the search box, search for and select Teslemetry: Remove precondition schedule.
6. Select the Vehicle.
7. Enter the Schedule ID to remove.
8. 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 teslemetry.remove_precondition_schedule. A basic example looks like this:

action: teslemetry.remove_precondition_schedule
data:
  device_id: 0d462c0c4c0b064b1a91cdbd1ffcbd31
  id: 1

This removes the preconditioning schedule with ID 1.
