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

Just practice safe YAML

Attached. Let me know if any questions... To be honest I have never checked to see if the PRND gear status works, but the code is there to change the color of the active gear letter.

The indicators do work, it's telling me my 12v is pretty low at the moment.

this is great! Thanks!

Wow. That's tidy code. I like it!

Not ready to share much more but this was something I cooked up yesterday using a slightly different integration. It's buggy as all heck though.

We have two electric vehicles with telematics (the third doesn't have any) so the top figure is my wife's 2017 Chevrolet Bolt, and the bottom one is the truck.

People at work when I spot errors in our dbt schema yaml: so where did you get this experience?

me: uhhhh.....home assistant

Unabashedly ashamed to ask for help. I've been working in IT for 30 years. But home assistant is Greek to me. Is there anyone willing to do a Google Meet/Zoom/whatever with me to add this integration and whatever I need? Willing to pay in beer if necessary!

If you already have Home Assistant running then it should be easy to install following the instructions. I am not HA fluent but was able to follow the directions.

If you don't have Home Assistant - that's different and a 10-minute Zoom call won't be close to getting it going. You'll need a Raspberry Pi, old laptop, etc to install it. Start at their HA website on how to get it going.

I am finding the integration less useful and have concerns that it is waking up the truck and causing 12V battery drain. The integration stopped working a few days ago and I haven't figured out why. The 12V battery SOC was what I really wanted all along and there are other ways to get that.

Also: If you are stuck getting HA going, post in the HA forums over there. There are many more knowledgeable and helpful folks (unlike me )

@Aminorjourney I incorporated your remote start scripts into my HA instance for my two vehicles (MME and Lightning), which is great because before I was just initiating the ignition on switch only without a refresh. Great results, so thank you again for starting this thread!

With that said, I've noticed some inconsistency between my vehicles. I have a homekit bridge in HA and the new scripts exposed so I can initiate them from the iPhone 15's action button through shortcuts (I have a menu pop down with the common things I need like LOCK the Lightning since there's no walk away lock feature, UNLOCK the MME since it feels like it takes forever for it to recognize my PAAK, and Remote Start for both vehicles).

All of these are now using the scripts from this thread and all of them are working flawlessly except for the Remote Start on the Lightning. It just like doesn't seem to respond to that one script through Homekit today, while the Lock script does.

Anyone using these scripts through Homekit and noticing any weirdness...and/or any tweaks that may help?

I think I've got the start of the code to be able to toggle charging. Its not working yet, but once I have time I hope to be able to implement it.
Since I was able to find the charging information, I'm hoping I'll also be able to find

• Zone Lightning Controls
• Pro Power Onboard Controls

My problems come when adding it to the integration because I'm trying to not make the integration overwhelmed with EV specific features - or have many new entities for non EV's.
I'm also not very good at coding - but its getting there

I haven't done anything with LightningROD either, I was having a mini problem on my setup and just haven't found the time to fix it.

I've found the issue!

Look for the script for your remote start (you have one, I hope?)
It should look like this:

Alternatively, here's what it looks like in YAML (you'll need to add your relevant device_id and entity_id)

alias: remote_start_toggle_F150_lightning
sequence:
  - type: toggle
    device_id: <DeviceID>
    entity_id: <EntityID>
    domain: switch
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 30
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: fordpass.refresh_status
    data: {}
mode: single
icon: mdi:power

Is there an ability to create an google voice to FordPass integration where I can tell google to start my truck or push me notifications like truck charged to 80%?

 

[Punk9721]

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

Please share how?!

 

[fvineyard]

I am curious on how also. Getting ready to setup Home Assistant myself soon.

 

[queuewho]

Basically, make a small dashboard with a few cards that have what you want, and then set up an automation to cast it to your nest hub. There are a couple integrations out there for people who run into stability issues, but I have found that my dashboards stay on it just fine being cast to them each morning.

YAML is killing me right now - the formatting is ...VERY_picky.

Very picky.
