Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

[CHeil402]

Sorry, not sure what's going on with it. Even on my phone, two different launchers (Pixel Launcher and Nova7) think it's two different sizes.

FWIW, in Nova you can chose to resize it and remove that white space without it affecting the look of the widget.

Good work on this widget! Thanks for a useful tool.

I use Nova Launcher also and I was able to size the widget to not have any wasted space. The image shows what it looks like when you are sizing the widget.

Love the cute widget. Thanks to @kennelh. And @DevSecOps + others who contributed.

Love the widget. Great work!

FEATURE REQEST - not sure if you are taking any, but we are a 2 MachE family and it would be great if there could be a drop down that saved the VIN, and maybe a nick name that posted on the widget.

I'm taking requests; just go over to the GitHub page, click on "Issues", add your request, and under "Labels" choose "enhancement" add put "Feature request" in your title.

Just submitted one, but no labels were available in GitHub

Ah, my bad; guess I'm the one who assigns the labels.

After some time for testing today, I've pushed the 2022.01.30 update tonight. I also added a change log file (CHANGELOG.md) to the project describing the major things in this update. The major updates are:

1. Support for locking/unlocking doors and remote start by double-clicking on their icon.
2. Allow choice of how to see last refresh time information.
3. Allow user to enable/disable linked app widget buttons.
4. Display information below estimated range when plugged into charger.

Note for the lock/unlock and remote start: to use these, you need to enable under "Settings", and double-tap to access each function (on either the "Lock" or "Ignition" icons) to avoid accidental usage. For me personally, I've not been able to active Remote Start from the FordPass app, and haven't been able to get the remote start command to work for me, so I can't verify they actually work (beyond the successful response from the Ford servers).

Great stuff. What is the bell at the top and what do the colors mean for the symbol? It's not listed in the notes.

The bell represents the alarm; green represents armed, red unarmed, and red with a "Z" deep sleep.

OK. Thanks!

Thanks for the update! Really love having remote control.

I don't want to derail the thread here, but I actually used to have a similar issue with remote start. Do your remote lock/unlock buttons work outside of Bluetooth range?

Side note: it looks like the widget is now taking up even more grid space ?

Thanks for the many excellent updates. Remote start and unlock/lock appear to work. For some reason, I thought double clicking remote start a second time would turn it off. Reasonably, it added an extra 15 minutes, just like can be done from Ford Pass.

I didn't implement a command for remote stop; I don't know what would happen if someone did that while the car was driving (and wasn't about to experiment to see what would happen).
