HOW-TO DIY: Add Walk-Away Lock to F150 Lightning using Tasker & Android

Sir,
Any update? I would like to do this.
What good is phone as key if I still have to carry the key fob to lock it.
Thank you.

Same here. My Model Y I could just walk away from and it locks.

Oh, mainly I was interested in any update to the walk away work around.
Thanks

There is no update, everything still works fine just as I outlined. Follow the steps and you will have walk away lock until Ford implements it right

Thank you!
I just bought my Lightning, now to try your work around.
I read this so was wondering;
"A change I plan to make in the future is to have this NodeJS process run in the background (with a persistent, auth'ed session) and call 'lock' via a local call - this will cut down on authentications to the Ford API, because I do not want my account to get blocked."
