[generaltso]

Release v1.2.3

• Fixed a bug for using psi tire pressure and metric units.

Coming Soon:

• Support for receiving text commands using Siri Shortcut. This will allow us to simulate the ford shortcuts for starting and unlocking. It will allow you to say any command and the script can parse it and execute it. Meaning status feedback and advanced commands like frunk, SecuriAlert, etc.

@tonesto7 , thank you for doing this, it really is fantastic! I asked in one of the previous pages, but I think it may have gotten buried. Is it possible to add a "Last Updated" field in the widget that displays how long ago the car updated its data? This is very helpful in FordPass so that we know if the data is 5 minutes old or 15 hours old. This wouldn't be an issue if the car would update its data more regularly, but I guess Ford's not there yet.

There is a Force Refresh command in the script. It might help you in the short term.

For what it is worth, @tonesto7 Github page has an area to report issues and enhancements (under discussions)- https://github.com/tonesto7/fordpass-scriptable

He looks to be working with several different groups, and I'm trying to log errors/enhancements there.

That will just force the script to refresh whatever data is available from the Ford servers, which is not what I'm after. I'm looking to have the widget display the time since the car last updated its data to the Ford servers, so we know how stale the displayed info is.

This is the field in FordPass:

That's a reasonable request!
Let me see if the timestamp is in the data. I know each status type has a timestamp just not sure about all the data.

@generaltso I found the timestamp and will work on adding it to the next release.

Kind of a dumb question, but the "car with no image" thing is an issue I've had ever since I got my car. Do you know or have a guess as to why some cars don't have images?

Thanks for all the great improvements, but it is not working for me when I try to update to v1.2.3.

I saw this same issue was posted to GitHub a few hours ago. Am I doing something wrong?

I got the same thing the first time. Reran it and the error went away.

Reran it a number of times, delete app, delete data, reload, same result, except sometimes I get this error first, which, after selecting OK and running again, is followed by the 1814:23 error.

Added the status of the frunk and submitted a PR for it. Probably not as useful as the others but doesn't hurt to have.

Latest version (1.2.3) stopped working for me. 1.2.2 worked fine.

Tried removing/replacing the script, removing/replacing the app, etc. I get these prompts. If I 'Save' the first I get the 2nd:
