Add RFID information to Peblar inegration

Describe the enhancement

Hi,

I would like to see when the RFID-tag is scanned / changed. I see this is possible at the Homey app. So I would expect that it is at least possible for HA also to integrate.

Use cases

Remember my self that the car is connected but the RFID-tag has not been scanned so it wont start loading.

Anything else?

I dont see it described in the documents (API) from Peblar but the Homey App has this possibility so might be needed to contact Peblar again (@frenck )

🏷️ I've automatically added the integration: peblar label to help categorize this feature request.

Hope to see the RFID token as well in the 'meter-data'.
So I can setup differenr charging-methods when I see which RFID-token is used.

Very helpfull for me

@frenck . I allready contacted Peblar if they want to add the RFID in next update. Maybe you can help us by asking Peblar again for this option in the API

[HeinMelissen]

Sure, here is my txt-file

It contains the required code and description how to use it.
I don't know how to contact you in person to explain it a little bit more.
Maybe you got the knowledge to make a HACS-integration or something.

For now it uses 2 automations, some additions to configuration.yaml and templates.yaml, some helpers, a script, a file (which contains the retrieved RFID-info)

I hope you enjoy this paper :)
Note: I wrote everything in 'kladblok', so it's easier to copy the automations to your HA.

@magtimmermans .... I sended the code.

Thanks (Bedankt) Hein

@magtimmermans : I changed the code a little

Peblar RFID # script lezen

shell_command:

update_peblar_rfid_data: "bash /config/peblar.sh {{ today_at('00:00:00').isoformat() }}"

update_peblar_rfid_data: "bash /config/peblar.sh {{ (now() - timedelta(days=7)).strftime('%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00') }}"

change this code (old vs new). because when you charge the car overnight, the script didn't return the right output. So we load the data for one week and it always takes the last piece of data. So if you charge the car for 5 days in a row (without interruptions) it still produces the right output.

@magtimmermans (i know you're dutch). Is there a possibilty to exchange the code in a different way. Because I'm still fine tuning my VERSION B.
I also made a counter that counts the charged kWh bij RFID number.
(a small addition to the automation ONTKOPPELEN)

I also made an automation that changes the charge-behavior when a RFID is scanned.
for example: If the RFID (my son) is scanned, it will charge STANDARD, but when my RFID is scanned, it will go to charge PUUR ZONNELADEN.
I've got multiple RFID cards, so I can also make a RFID for me, that will start STANDARD or TIMER (automation in my Audi of VW integration)

@magtimmermans updated code:

alias: "Peblar: Stoptijd Uitlezen bij Ontkoppelen"
description: Wacht na ontkoppelen tot de data is weggeschreven en slaat de stoptijd op.
triggers:

• entity_id: sensor.peblar_ev_charger_status
  to: no_ev_connected
  trigger: state
  conditions: []
  actions:
• delay: "00:00:05"
• action: shell_command.update_peblar_rfid_data
  data: {}
• action: homeassistant.update_entity
  target:
  entity_id: sensor.peblar_laatste_sessie_data
  data: {}
• alias: Schrijf de stoptijd nu correct weg naar de helper
  action: input_text.set_value
  target:
  entity_id: input_text.rfid_huidige_stoptijd
  data:
  value: "{{ states('sensor.peblar_string_stoptijd') }}"
• action: input_text.set_value
  target:
  entity_id: input_text.rfid_chargercable
  data:
  value: Kabel niet aangesloten
• alias: Geladen kWh direct optellen bij de juiste RFID Nutsmeters
  action: utility_meter.calibrate
  target:
  entity_id:
  - >-
  {{ 'sensor.rfid_' ~ states('input_text.rfid_huidige_rfid') | lower ~
  'totaal' }}
  - >-
  {{ 'sensor.rfid' ~ states('input_text.rfid_huidige_rfid') | lower ~
  'maand' }}
  data:
  value: >-
  {% set rfid = states('input_text.rfid_huidige_rfid') | lower %} {% set
  huidige_stand = states('sensor.rfid' ~ rfid ~ '_totaal') | float(0) %}
  {% set sessie_kwh = states('sensor.peblar_ev_charger_sessie_energie') |
  float(0) %} {{ (huidige_stand + sessie_kwh) | round(2) }}
  mode: single

you must make some helpers (Nutsmeter) in Utilties.yaml called:

RFID aantal geladen kWh

--- RFID ---

rfid_totaal:
source: sensor.rfid_virtuele_puls
name: "RFID Totaal"
unique_id: rfid_totaal

also for monthly, with extra line: cycle: monthly

and add this in templates.yaml:

  - name: "RFID Virtuele Puls"
    unique_id: rfid_virtuele_puls
    state: "0"
    unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
    device_class: energy
    state_class: total_increasing

I dodn't know why previous message uses italic, bold, bigger size... otherwise i should upload a txt-file again.

[HeinMelissen]

I hope you can make a HACS integration or something like that, or do you use it for personal use only ?

[magtimmermans]

Personal use

[HeinMelissen]

Allright... hope you enjoy my code

I also changed the scanning interval, so the RFID comes quicker in the helper.
Set the scanning to 2 seconds and changed 180 to 900 (factor 5)
And in the other automation the delay to 2 seconds.
The script returns the new value very quick. When you notice it shows --- make the delay longer

Hi,As I read this new 'update', it only manage the RFID's. So you can add, delete or list all RFID's.But what we want is the actual reading of the RFID when you start a session.With a Shell command and a Commandline, it is possible to read out the RFID, starttime and stoptime.I got it working on HA. So when my son scans his RFID the charger starts charging at Standard-mode. When I scan my RFID the charger goes back to PureSolarCharging.I also made it possible to charge at any amperage between 6000mA and 16000mA. Best is in steps of 100mA. While the normal integration only allows steps of 1000mA.Verzonden vanaf Outlook voor AndroidVan: Franck Nijhof ***@***.***>Verstuurd: zaterdag, augustus 29, 2026 12:44:06 p.m.Aan: home-assistant/feature-requests ***@***.***>CC: Melissen ***@***.***>; Comment ***@***.***>Onderwerp: Re: [home-assistant/feature-requests] Add RFID information to Peblar inegration (Discussion #3520)Related:RFID management added here: home-assistant/core#169189../Frenck                                         Blogging my personal ramblings at frenck.dev—Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.Triage notifications, keep track of coding agent tasks and review pull requests on the go with GitHub Mobile for iOS and Android.
