Helper: How do I edit or delete an input_boolean helper?

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.

Go to your entities list. Search for the helper and select it, then you have the option to delete the helper.

As others have stated, this does not work.

I also have the issue: Cannot remove a Button helper for lack of UI Delete button - #4 by Jn115759

Anyway, I just managed to delete it with Chromium, so the issue for me at least seems to be with Firefox. And yes, I have emptied the cache (I actually don’t cache anything).

Your browser does. You can change the settings in some browsers to clear cache on exit.

I thought there is a bug, but really Ctrl-F5 helps to get the Delete button and whole UI visible for helper when settings icon has been pressed. Before that only name of the helper is visible.

So, do not try to remove from entities list but clear the broser cache (Ctrl-F5) and then press settings icon again.

There was no settings for boolean entity. But when I turned it on, I could delete it.

Turn it on before you press cog. Then there is delete.

Had the same issue. Changed user language from German to English, logged out and in, and the possibility to delete in the properties of the helper was shown.

Same problem here

Go to entities, select the helper(s) to be removed, use DISABLE selected. That gets rid of the entity and helper.

Only if the helper isn’t disabled. Then (at least for a group) the delete option is gone, and the only apparent way to delete it is in the entities ….

Been there as well, very annoying.

I found that fully reloading the helpers list page (ctrl-F5) does the trick.

After that, you can edit or delete your helpers.

This is working, after ctrl-f5, I could delete the unused helpers. Thank you
