Android widget

[Kanuck]

I've been told I'm an overachiever, but now my truck has to be one too. ?

What is the bar across the bottom supposed to be showing?

Edited to add: the DTE in the widget and in Ford pass are a match!

That bar show how full your tank is in percent.

The bar and percentage are of the fuel level, but is yours a hybrid?

Yep! And since you originally made it for the mach E the original widget listed charge, so I was wondering if the API call was returning the hybrid battery charge too. I'm guessing it is fuel if the question was a surprise...

I hadn't seen any JSON status info for a hybrid yet so didn't try to do anything. If you'll grab some logs for me and post in a DM here I can see what they show and figure out how to tailor it better.

This was sent to me from @camattin and I Think it was to go to you.


I filled up about 50 miles,so the tank definitely should not report more than 100% full. Attaching the log file so you can have a look. (I'm out of town so can't easily pipe the json through jq for parsing ?).

After seeing a few "fuel" values above 100, I'm wondering if the value is actually liters? 27 gallons is roughly 102.2 liters. If you've got a 36 gallon fuel tank, what is the widget showing you when it's full?

Ah, could be. Mine is a powerboost, so that's 30.6 gallons when full.

I'll check it again after another fill-up so that we're not guessing too much here.

I have the 36gal and you saw it yesterday, 103.2%. I did just fill up prior to getting you the log info.

Ok, that answers that. Thanks.

Is there anything in the JSON that reports tank size?

My powerboost will only have a 30 gallon tank and the standard is 26. Got to be a way to say what size tank (If it's not in the JSON maybe just add a configuration you can manually set the tank size on?)

I have a 136 L tank and when full the widget shows 102.3%. My fuel gauge shows 3/4 of a tank and the widget is showing 73.8%...about right.

I think the input to the module from the fuel level sensor would be 0 to 10 volts being converted analog to digital value. Anything over 10 volts would push the conversion higher than 100%. Depending on the tank size there would have to be a scaling factor some where in the firmware that would correct the output to the correct value on the fuel gauge.

To be fair, even the needle on the truck goes past full.

 

[SouthernGuy]

The location displayed on the widget is different from the location in FordPass and the truck itself. Any idea why?

I find the Ford Pass is not accurate where the widget is right on.

This latest version of the app does not seem to be updating on it's own. I have it unrestricted in battery settings and set to refresh every 10 minutes, but it has missed several of my driving sessions since I downloaded this version. Currently it shows the last update as just after midnight when triple clicking for refresh info.

@kennelh is aware, during my testing with him the other day I brought it to his attention.
