Remotely Accessing LV Battery Voltage from Ford.com with Chrome Browser

[nashbrydges]

For anyone who runs a Home Assistant instance, I'm pretty new to it but recently got my FordPass integration working well and includes an insane amount of data that you can monitor over time as well as build automations like alerts if your 12V SoC drops below X%, notify me if I've left my doors unlocked or windows down and it's after 6PM, notify me if tire pressure drops below YPSI...etc. Use this data to build yourself a dashboard with all of this cool data.

This does not seem to work anymore. Apparently, have changed how the dashboard works. If the reason for the change for them was just seeing this or a similar post and preventing us from accessing that data, I have no words for Ford...

Still works the same as i documented on Chrome. Does "status?..." not show up? Perhaps there was a temporary Ford server issue.

I just finished (er...work in progress) my mach-e Home Assistant info card and sharing it here in case anyone is interested. I'm 30 days into having HA and so far can't believe I've not had this in my life before.

I've manually changed the state of the front left tire so you can see what happens when there are no issues with tire pressure (the icon goes away). The other tires have the warning because I don't have TPMS installed on my winter wheels...maybe next year.

When charging is active, there are 3 lines that appear at top middle to indicate the charging power, volts and amps but those remain hidden unless charging in happening.

I've included a bar graph for SoC for both traction and LVB batteries and included the LVB voltage as well.

I haven't included window status and may do this at a later time.

Nice! Thanks, definitely interested. Suggest you start a new thread on it.

Can you tell us which integration you used?

Can you tell us which integration you used?

I'm running on the latest HAOS v2025.2.4 on a virtual machine and the Fordpass integration is v1.7. You need to use v1.7. The earlier versions don't work at all.

Follow this for setting up the integration.
https://github.com/itchannel/fordpass-ha/tree/1.70

Follow these instructions to obtain the necessary tokens.
https://github.com/itchannel/fordpass-ha/wiki/Obtaining-Tokens-(As-of-25-05-2024)

It's a pain in the ass to get but if you follow the instructions to the letter, it will work.

Thank you.

For the users that are setting up home assistant and the FordPass integration, make sure you turn the polling down to something like 600 seconds. If you hit the API more than 200 times in a 24 hour period, your account will get locked out.

Good reminder. By default, the integration is set to 900 seconds but good to check and confirm.

Does this method still work? Seems like the dashboard on Ford is redesigned.

LVB voltage access through the developer toolbox still works. Just tried it.

I tried with Chrome and no luck. I guess it is taken out? I can't seem to find anything under XHR > Name with 'status'

Disregard the above. Tried it in incognito and it worked. It shows 13.45 though. Is that normal?
