Feature Automations

Events & automation blueprints

BavarianData streams data in real time, so it's built for automations that react the instant something changes rather than on a polling cycle.

Charging events

Meaningful charging transitions fire on the Home Assistant event bus, ready to use as automation triggers (watch them under Developer Tools → Events):

Event	Fires when	Data
bavariandata_charging_started	a session begins	vin, soc, target_soc, status
bavariandata_charging_stopped	a session ends (any reason)	vin, soc, target_soc, status
bavariandata_charging_complete	a session ends at/above the target SoC	vin, soc, target_soc, status

Starter blueprints

Two starter automations ship with the integration. Import them via Settings → Automations → Blueprints → Import Blueprint with the raw GitHub URL:

• Stop charging at target % — stop_charge_at_target.yaml. Switches off a wallbox / smart-plug the moment a SoC sensor reaches your target. CarData is read-only, so it drives an external switch you already have — it can't command the car directly.
• Notify when charging completes — notify_charging_complete.yaml. Pings a notify service on the charging-complete / -stopped events above.

Remember: read-only

CarData cannot send commands, so no automation built on this integration can lock, precondition, or otherwise control the car. Automations act on external devices (wallboxes, plugs, notifiers) in response to the car's data.
