So I am having an issue where I can't seem to link FordPass with my Google Home system. It is added to my assistant on my phone, and I can use voice commands through my phone. However, when I try to use Google Home, it gives me the "It seems FordPass is not linked" message every time.

Anyone have any success with adding FordPass to Google Home? I can't even find it in the "works with Google" section of Home.

I was able to do it. I added FordPass under the apps in the home app itself. Have you tried that yet? Apparently the assistant on your phone and the one with home are not 100% the same (what you do with one does not necessarily translate to the other). Also, I think you have to have both set up to recognize your voice.

I think when I tried it, Google Home asked if it could link with FordPass. I said, "ask FordPass to start my car." It asked for permission to link, then to create a pin.

I don't believe that you can add it to Google Home. Love to see a screen shot showing it. But you can access it with your voice. And make routines. But you won't see it showing. https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...re-directly-from-your-android-launcher.10493/
I own a Google Home Mini speaker and an Insignia (Best Buy house brand) speaker/clock. It works with both of those with voice control.

I don't have any display-capable assistant devices aside from my phone, so I've not tried them, but I assume it works by voice on those, too.

I looked under the "works with Google" in the Google Home app and there is no FordPass listed. It is odd the way it is behaving. Usually once I add it to one Assistant device, like my phone, it activates on all.

I have a PIN setup through my phone for the link, but for some reason it isn't transferring over to Google Home.

Was finally able to get it to work this morning even though I followed the same steps previously with no success.

Ask Google Home to talk to FordPass
It will say it isn't linked
Open Google Home App and Go to Activity page
Link FordPass with Google Home
Done!

You have to ask your Google Home to talk to Fordpass, then in the app you can find how to link by hitting the bottom right button in the Home app, there should be a card to link your FordPass to Home.

Thanks. Got it now. It was the "bottom right button" that I wasn't seeing.


So, other than start, stop, lock and unlock are there other commands?

You can ask range as well.

How do I change my PIN?
When you first add FordPass to your google assistant, it'll prompt you to enter and save a pin. I'm not sure how to change it, short of removing integration and then re-adding it again.
