Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

[kennelh]

Uploaded version 2023.04.05 to GitHub and Play Store. The main addition is that charging information is displayed similar to the change in FordPass 4.25.0. Note that this info doesn't update instantaneously; new info will only show when the car pushes an update to the servers.

I've only tested with with Level 2 charging but believe it will work with DCFC. If you find otherwise, let me know.

I really appreciate that you keep Our Favorite Widget updated and in good shape.

@kennelh: Thanks for your useful widget. I noticed that on my phone the small and medium widgets always show 200 miles range and the big widget shows N/A (see photo).
Could you check if it is an issue of the metric units I use here in EU or if it could depend on my Android phone? FordPass shows the correct data. Thanks

Yep... that's a bug for everyone. I just pushed 2023.04.07 with a fix.

more kudos for this well done and useful widget. just got my MME and this has made life much easier than opening the clumsy fordpass app for simple status information. many thanks! ?

I just reinstalled this after about 6 months of not having it due to Ford locking my account. I created a second account (like others have done) and I am using that account for the widget. It's awesome.

From early days as a beta tester to today, I continue to really enjoy and appreciate this app. Thanks, @kennelh !

I'm glad people are still finding the widget useful. I'm in a holding pattern waiting for Ford to Ok the public API. I'd been told end of Q1 but it's still pending approval of the terms by the legal folk.

I took a road trip last week so decided to use the opportunity to see how frequently DCFC data updates. I modified the app to request this once every 30-ish seconds once it detects DCFC is happening and was surprised to see the car does upload data about that frequently. I'm hoping Ford exposes this in the public API as I could then add a "live" charging data view in the app/widget.

Uploaded version 2023.07.11 to GitHub and Play Store. No major updates for Mach-E owners, however it's possible that you will need to add your vehicle again under "Manage Vehicles" since the underlying database changed and it may erase that info.

There should be a release in a few days which will allow you to see power/energy updates every 30 seconds while DCFC. The catch is you'll need to manually refresh once you plug in; otherwise it will only detect on the next scheduled refresh.

confirming i had to re-add my vehicle on this update. i re-logged in as well but guessing it may not have been necessary.

Updated from the Play Store; did not log in, but did need to add vehicle.

Thanks for the ongoing improvements!

Edit: If you want to use the app, I'd recommend setting up a separate e-mail account through FP just for the app.

This may be obvious to some, but i have no idea how to add another email account.

Will you please assist with pointers?

Thanks in advance. I was locked out once before and it took days to get resolved, so would like to avoid that with this app.

I went to the Ford web site and created a new account, then linked my VIN to that new account. It was very easy.

Uploaded version 2023.07.13 to GitHub and Play Store with DCFC support. Note this is disabled by default and you need to enable under "Settings"

This is a heads-up for version 2023.07.25 which will upload shortly to GitHub only. If feedback is good then I'll also push to the Play Store, but in case this release turns out to be ? I didn't want to mess too many users up. I haven't found any issues, but YMMV. Just in case, back up your setting first.

This is the first attempt at the DC fast charge log viewer; I'm fairly pleased with it but open to feedback and bug reports. You will need to enable the three DCFC settings for it to work; you'll then see a "Display DCFC info" entry in the three-dot menu once there is session data. You won't see anything real-time, only after you finish charging (that maybe a future option, but do test it I really need log files since I won't be DCFC anytime soon).

I'm looking for feedback in particular after you do multiple charging sessions, to make sure the data for each individual session shows up correctly.
