Warning
Due to what looks like a Ford API change the integration isn't currently working as of 08/05/2024. I recommend disabling it for the time being until we can take a look at what has changed.
For anyone who wants to try there is a version 1.70 which works but is more fiddly to setup. Please see https://github.com/itchannel/fordpass-ha/wiki/Obtaining-Tokens-(As-of-25-05-2024) for instructions
Dear FordPass Integration Users,
We want to keep you informed about the latest developments regarding the integration. Ford has recently introduced a new API, which has presented both opportunities and challenges. Here are some key points to note:
-
Increased Complexity: The new API has brought about several challenges and complexities. While it has enabled new attributes and sensors for different vehicles, it has also made integration more intricate.
-
Vehicle Variety: In addition to an entirely new data structure, it is difficult to determine the variety of vehicles that can be supported - without knowing their capabilities. We are assessing which vehicles contain the information necessary to enable different sensors.
-
Unstable Nature of the New API: Currently, the API appears to be unstable and/or changing. Any changes to its structure can disrupt sensor data. It is difficult to determine why: vehicles may still be in the process of migration, needing an update, or have a different data structure. Either way, instability has been noticed, and any updates or changes to the API can impact this integration.
-
Ongoing Work: We both want to continue enhancing the integration and ensuring its functionality. However, it's important to note that we have limited time to allocate to this effort.
-
Future Updates: We are continuing our efforts to adapt to new changes and persue further enhancments.
Please understand that there may be issues, or disruptions, to different sensors during this process.
If you have any questions or concerns, please either open a new issue or comment on an existing issue related to yours.
Thank you,

A number of users have encountered their accounts being banned for containing "+" symbols in their email. It appears Ford thinks this is a disposable email. So if you have a + in your email I recommend changing it.
Use HACS to add this repository as a custom repo. Upon installation navigate to your integrations, and follow the configuration options. You will need to provide:
- Username (Fordpass App)
- Password (Fordpass App)
- Region (Where you are based, required for tokens to work correctly)
Your car must have the lastest onboard modem functionality and have registered/authorised the fordpass application
I have added a service to poll the car for updates, due to the battery drain I have left this up to you to set the interval. The service to be called is "refresh_status" and can be accessed in home assistant using "fordpass.refresh_status".
Optionally you can add the "vin" parameter followed by your VIN number to only refresh one vehicle. By default this service will refresh all registered cars in HA.
This will take up to 5 mins to update from the car once the service has been run
Click on options and choose imperial or metric to display in km/miles. Takes effect on next restart of home assistant. Default is Metric
If you are experiencing any sign in issues, please trying clearing your tokens using the "clear_tokens" service call.
This service allows you to manually refresh/poll the API without waiting the set poll interval. Handy if you need quicker updates e.g. when driving for gps coordinates
