Hi @stevemann, can you please mark this topic as solved?
If you mark this thread as solved by selecting the answer which gave you the solution, other members will not jump in to try to help (like I just did) AND the topic will be useful for others having a similar issue.
But there is no option to delete the Simple helper for input Boolean toggle switch and it can neither be removed at the entities page.
Did you add it using yaml or the UI?
If you used YAML, delete the YAML config, restart then delete the restored entity from the entities list.
If you used the UI see the solution above.
I used the UI but for toggle helper, there is no “delete” button in the window when I clicked on the entity:
Click the settings icon. The cog icon, middle icon top right of that card.
Clear your web browser cache and try again.
Cleared, nothing changed. same displayed.
Check Settings → System → Logs
I have the same issue. I worked around it by editing the helper via the mobile (Android) HA app.
Same issue here: I cannot delete the input_boolean helper.
The “cog” icon in Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers shows exact same result as @kychan1121.
Environment:
Home Assistant 2023.7.3
Supervisor 2023.07.1
Operating System 10.3
Frontend 20230705.1 - latest
Principle of least surprise: I expected to be able to delete a “Helper” under the “Helper” menu.
Addendum: deleting from the “Entities” page also does not work:
Result:
Only 0 selected entities can be removed.
You can only remove 0 of the selected 1 entities. Entities can only be removed when the integration is no longer providing the entities. Sometimes you have to restart Home Assistant before you can remove the entities of a removed integration. Are you sure you want to remove the removable entities?
Same issue. I’m pretty confident there is a bug here.
First thing to check:
There are no open issues. So you can make a report using the new issue button.
Though this may be a frontend issue which you may be asked to report here:
I am wondering if there is a solution to ediit or delete a Schedule Helper.
In one case I want to change the schedule and in another case I want to delete a Schedule helper because I removed the related device.
When I click on remove in the Entities list I get:
You can only remove 0 of the selected 1 entities. Entities can only be removed when the integration is no longer providing the entities. Sometimes you have to restart Home Assistant before you can remove the entities of a removed integration. Are you sure you want to remove the removable entities?
After you have eliminated all possible mentions of the helper in a YAML file, you may have to go nuclear and delete the integration.
Thanks… I forgot to mention that I am not comfortable with Yaml and try to stay away from it. This being said, I went into Studio Code Server and could not find a tab for Helpers.
When you say delete the Integration, is Schedule considered an Integration ? If so, I would of course delete all my Schedules.
Yes, schedule is an integration. It’s part of the default_integration, so I don’t think it will appear in the in the list of integrations in settings, devices and services, integrations. So, how would you delete the integration?? Good question.
When you open Windows File Explorer, do you see this?
think i found the way. search for the helper under entities and disable it. should disappear from the helper page.
I am also not allowed to remove input boolean anf toggle helpers. Nothing shows up when I press the settings button. I can remove light helpers. The settings button works fine.
