Thank you, I just made the Battery percentage work. I will add more info now I can see how to do it.

Mind sharing your config/template for the battery percent?

Nevermind - I figured out what I was missing!

Nice job guys, thanks for the tips...

How did you get the mdi: power-plug icon to change based on attribute state? TIA!

 

[Calvin4000]

Just add an icon_template in your template for the attribute...

- platform: template
sensors:
plug_status_template:
friendly_name: "Ford Plug Status"
value_template: >-
{% if is_state_attr('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'Plug Status', 0) %}
Unplugged
{% elif is_state_attr('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'Plug Status', 1) %}
Plugged In
{% else %}
{% endif %}
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state_attr('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'Plug Status', 0) %}
mdi: power-plug-off
{% elif is_state_attr('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'Plug Status', 1) %}
mdi: power-plug
{% else %}
mdi:connection
{% endif %}

Thanks - my code looked just like yours but somehow took me a day to get both templates working at the same time. Good now! ?

How did you pull the battery %. I've put in
value_template: "{{ state_attr('fordpass.elVeh', 'Battery Fill Level') | float }}"
What am I missing besides a few more hours in reading?
Keeps returning 0

I use
state: "{{ '%+.1f'|format(state_attr('sensor.fordpass_elveh','Battery Fill Level')) }}"

Also the distance I cannot see the range in the fuel attribute. How did you get that?

 

[Chudsaviet]

FYI, I applied to Ford API developer account to make an IFTTT plugin.
No answer for several months.

Range is fordpass.elVeh. No attribute.
I'm working on setting the value as a whole number. Need to get back into home assist now its more useful

Thanks, was missing just one word.

Range is also shown in km, even if you're in NA. I don't do anything with it, but you'd maybe want to convert it to miles if you want a card for it in HA.

It's also nice that it reports the 12V battery level. Mine generally stays around 13-15V.

 

[SashaLondon]

I changed the km to Miles with a small line.

 

[AllenXS]

Km is good in north north America, ie Canada. It's also good to monitor the battery.
I'm going to record estimated range and temperature over time.
Also recording to see degradation over the years.
