Home Assistant Automations - Show them off!!!

[DevSecOps]

What about with the HomeBridge plugin https://github.com/Brandawg93/homebridge-fordpass ?

I have Homebridge and HE working well together. I guess if I needed to I could add Home Assistant to the mix.

Since I don't have either of those, I don't know the answer. Can you read the vehicle status in HE? If you can through HomeBridge then I assume it would work.

I'm not sure what I may have done wrong. I got Fordpass integrated (v1.63) and it pulled all of my data once, but has not updated since then. Is there something I need to change to make it auto update? I found the "Interval to poll Fordpass API" and left it at 900 seconds, changed it a little to 890 seconds, and back and no change.

Got this figured out. Well, I didn't really, I just removed my vehicle and added it back, and it seems to be working now.

It works. Some people are just scared to use it.

I don't think the HA integration has ever caused lockouts. It's been other services.

Not clear, what the remedy is... limit polling rate, avoid IP switching ... and more constraints they may apply int the future.

Hopefully they don't block the primary account after multiple secondary accounts are blocked.

That reddit post is a year old and they don't know the reason the account was locked.

I was told directly from the Ford developer team that locked accounts (a year ago) were almost certainly caused by either unapproved user agents hitting the API or multiple hits to the same account from various IPs.

Those reasons aren't caused by the fordpass ha integration. Even though I don't own a Ford anymore I still poll the API from ha and have never had a problem. I do have a static IP however, which definitely helps. At one point I was querying the API every 10 seconds and never had an issue.

So, I stand behind my statement that the FP HA integration isn't the issue.

I did run into lockout due to HA, that I originally reported here:

https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...-use-can-disable-your-fordpass-account.13893/

I'd like to try using the HA integration again, just trying to avoid the painful process of unlocking that I had to go through. Hopefully Ford doesn't mess with my primary account. Fingers n toes .
