FordPass - Scriptable Widget V2022.XX (iOS, iPad, MacOS)

[Brown1000]

Sorry if this was asked or if it’s so obvious that I am blind to it, how on earth do you get a widget onto the Home Screen??? I can view it, but then what? What dumb thing am I obviously missing..lol

you can press and hold the widget till it starts to wiggle, then drag it to the Home Screen you want to use it on.

Do you click on menu, then view widgets and then pick which one you want and hold that down? That’s what I’m doing at the moment and nothings happening.

from the first home page, scroll to the right to see all the widgets you have. find the scriptable widget then press and hold, when it starts to jiggle you then can drag it to the home page you want it on.

Hi Is the OTA info removed from the widget now? I cannot find any info in the widget on this.

I still see OTA info in the widget.

Noob question: I installed the FordWidgetTool, ran it to install the Fordpass Widget, then ran the Fordpass widget, but nothing happens. Does not show dialog to enter FordPass credentials. What am I missing? FordPass is installed and running fine on my iPhone. Any help appreciated!

Thanks @tonesto7 for the great effort. I think this is a cool widget. I tweaked the source code to each myself JavaScript.

The main issue I have is the unpredictable widget updates. Sometimes it doesn’t update for hours, and there seems to be no way to force iOS to update the widget. To properly know how out-of-date the widget is I modified the bottom line to contain the vehicle and data update times.

Another mod I did was to show more details on the charge status. In case the car is plugged in, it will tell the time it started charging, or the time when charging is compete:

I tried to see if I could extract more telemetry data than the stuff I see in the FordAPI JavaScript file. I was not successful as I can’t find any description of that API on the web. I also tried to guess what the command-URLs would be to open and close the trunk and frunk, with no success until now. It can be done from the Fordpass app so I presume that the url command syntax must be similar….
Anyhow, this is fun!

It’s a great app. I still don’t get why the odometer is on the little tiny app but the bigger apps with all that extra space don‘t display it.

Some of those commands only work over Bluetooth and not over the ford API.
I've mapped just about every available command in the API.

If you submit changes to the github repo i will gladly accept them if they make sense for others.

Haha, indeed. That why I tweaked the code to get hat in.

The widget is great, thank you for the work. I might be doing something wrong but it doesn’t update unless I use the menu to request I refresh. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help

@tonesto7 I am stumped! FordPass Tool is installed, I run it it and it installs the widget, I then click on the widget and nothing happens (I don't get a dialog to input my FordPass credentials). I am logged in to FordPass app. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Try using the widget tool to reset the data.
