Home Assistant - Ford F150 Lightning Dashboard.

[Aminorjourney]

How are all of you handling updates/refreshes? I seem to have no luck with mine, it refreshed on the initial setup but never again. I tried triggering the two different services via automations and directly in the tools menu and no dice...

Mine will update - but I know Ford has been busy lately working on the servers (last week, IIRC). My truck does update, but certainly not super-frequently.

My latest card code will allow you to hit the refresh button (you have to hold it) to get it to refresh, but you can also force a refresh by using the "Last updated" text and holding over that.

Failing that, I've got nothing. Check that you've got the latest version of FordPass-HA. There have been a LOT of changes of late, and I know that @theUNSTABLE has been working hard to help adapt code on the FordPass-HA project to make things reliable.

I just checked and HACS isn't saying it is out of date. I set up 900 second refresh on the API poll, it doesn't seem to be doing it. The ford app is working fine to get updated stats, and it's the same login.

It's weird that deleting and re-adding the integration gets me updated stats, but nothing else will force it to update.

Try running this from the Developer Tools > Services window. You can also try Fordpass: Poll API

This won't be instantaneous. It can take a while for the refresh to occur.

Additionally, there's a lot of discussion here that should help.

Rather than doing a reinstall, I moved to 1.63beta and back to 1.63. My button for 'full vehicle refresh' I made on my dashboard seems to trigger an update now. I still don't see the automatic api refresh doing anything as of yet, is this expected behavior? Like, an api update doesn't necessarily update anything if the truck hasn't sent it any new information?

Kinda went a different direction, still using a picture elements card up top, but I spread a lot the info around to some other cards to keep it in a similar theme to the rest of my dashboards.

A really clean dashboard! Nice. Were these built using Mushroom cards?

The door locks card is a mushroom card, I liked how it handled the lock/unlock status, it made it really clear what a button press was going to accomplish.

Everything else with text is just markdown, bar graphs are a hacs item called 'bar card' but I do not recommend that integration, it seems to be mostly abandoned.

Another update from today - with some major changes in how things are added.

You now need to use this integration if you want to add text to the card based on status.

The card now changes and adds charging information as it occurs, and I've started to tidy up the codebase.

I'm also planning on using my Emporia sensors to represent charge in and out, but that's coming soon

Made a version of it for my nest hub in my office:

Very nice. I love this sort of stuff. Here is a screenshot of mine. I got the lightning last week. Only have two days of continuous data. Right now just plotting what I find interesting in order to figure out what the lightning is doing and maybe why it is doing it.

What I think I've figured out so far.
1. The 12V battery charges when vehicle plugged in.
2. Last trip outside temp seems to be used to calculate maximum battery range.
3. Charging on 110V tries to get the battery to 15C (very slowly)
4. Coolant temp is always reporting 15C (what?)

I think it would be cool to have a public repo with various HomeAssistant cards specifically tailored to the lightning. So I may set something like that up soon.

This would be awesome. I was inspired by someone in the HA community and built cards like this for both my Mach-E and F150 Lightning. The key thing I wanted was conditional information about time until full and real-time charging information, so it pulls that in for each vehicle separately when it's actively charging and then hides that information when it's not.

@Aminorjourney - Thank you for sharing your work - this looks great! I'm now going to re-think how I've configured mine above to incorporate many of the things you've built out like visual door status, refresh cycle scripting, etc.

Also, I believe there was a mention earlier about data from the Ford Charge Station Pro (FCSP). I've had zero luck getting anything useful from that system. In fact, mine won't even stay connected to WiFi longer than a few days despite a finely tuned UniFi network. So, I ended getting an Emporia Vue 2, flashing it with the local ESPHome firmware, and put CT clamps on my 100A circuit to measure the energy consumption. While this lacks control on/off ability (which I really do miss from Tesla), it at least tells me consumption information, which is helpful for automations and visuals. After having this other data source, I've found the data reported in the FordPass app for charging session on the vehicle to not match the data reported from the FCSP or what my CT clamps are telling me. For me at least, it's given me one more reason to not worry about the flakey FCSP "connected" features.

Thanks for the kind words - and funny you should mention that...

We have two Vue2s running in our house, flashed with ESP32 and tying into Home Assistant. I've got a current clamp around the 100A feet to the FCSP for charging data, and I've also got a clamp around the backed for power cuts. SO far, so good

I'm actually working on a video right now that will be released on Transport Evolved on Christmas Day, in which I hope to go into some more depth over our setup!

Very nice!

How have your readings been from Vue of the 100A line? I ended up having to get another larger CT clamp connected to the blank C port on the top and combine with another of the smaller ports to get reasonably close to expected readings from that circuit.

Generally pretty good - the circuit always reads high by a half kilowatt or more - but I'm assuming this is power in at the source vs what the truck reports, which is probably power into the pack

Kinda went a different direction, still using a picture elements card up top, but I spread a lot the info around to some other cards to keep it in a similar theme to the rest of my dashboards.

I really like this dashboard. Would you be able to share your yaml?
