📱 Scriptable FordPass Widget (iOS, iPad, MacOS)

[Chrome_Pony]

iOS users have had widgets for ten minutes, and Android users are suddenly 'bottom feeders." The words you're looking for are "thank you." Both to your Apple overlords for allowing you the privilege of something Android users have had for a decade, and Android for making iOS get off its ass and provide parity.

/sarcasm.

I get the same error but I don’t have the first version. Weird.

Sorry you’re having the same problem, but good to know it’s not just me. Try installing 1.1.1.

Release v1.3.0

• Modified the VIN field to store VIN as an uppercase string.
• Added additional VIN format validations to setup prompt (Makes sure it's the right length and doesn't have any special characters).
• Fixes and additional error handling for reported issues in the forums.
• Modified the widget timestamp to reflect the last time the vehicle checked in and matches the last communication in the FordPass App (It's more descriptive now as well)
• Added the ability to hardcode an id into the script to allow for multiple instances for multiple vehicles. See the SCRIPT_ID in the script header (Not fully tested).
• Reworked the way all the window, door, and tire details are generated. They should now be laid out symmetrically.
• Tire pressure numbers will change color based on different pressures states for low or critical. (see the widgetConfig.tirePressureThresholds parameter in the script header to define custom values)
• Restructured the bottom of the widget to display events like low battery, deep sleep, firmware update, and any other errors. (It's also on a different line than the timestamp now).
• Updated the widget generation logic to support the different iOS widget layouts [small, medium, large, extraLarge] (Actually layout changes coming soon).
• Started working on the small widget layout working (needs a lot more work)

Release v1.3.1

• Fixed Oil Life showing no data.
• Fixes for timestamp offset text at the bottom are offset too much.
• Shows warning for Low Oil Life and low oil.
• Fixed issue with advanced control menu going to wrong sections when only certain items were shown due to the vehicle capabilities.
• Fixed the Alerts not allowed in widget error (this is really shown because the saved VIN is invalid)
• Fixed repeated login prompt because of the deviceLanguage variable missing from the setUserPrefs call. Removed the requirement as it's not being used right now

Any idea why my truck is showing two windows not closed?
Also, why doesn’t this thing auto update? Mine has gone 13 hours. Why have a widget that is always old info? Can a button be added to update without opening the script app?

First things first...
I only can report what the data from ford tells me.
Second, it does auto-update. That timestamp is when the truck last reported in.
The widget updates are controlled by apple. It's roughly every 5 minutes.

If you have a better way of making this all work please submit your recommendations to the code and I would be happy to integrate them.

Disappointed there's no Android version.

But on the other hand, not having Apple is well worth the sacrifice.

 

[atimberwolf]

No Bronco yet, but I'm planning to pull this in once it arrives. You've done a ton of work. Thank you.

I personally have both and can tell you. I don't lose a second's sleep having an iPhone. I have an S21 for work.

I've had to carry an iPhone for work and it's an incredibly frustrating user experience once you've gotten used to the freedom and flexibility of Android.

I re-read how I wrote what I wrote, I came off as an asshole. My apologies, I did not mean to come off aggressive or bitchy and really appreciate the work that goes into this.

From what you said the truck has to report in, I was asking about a spot to tap the widget to preform a “force update” like what is in the scriptable app options without having to open the app.
I do not know enough about widgets to know the limitations.

loving this! This thread deserves a pin

No worries.
the widgets on iOS are very restricted. I could put an icon but it would just open the scriptable app which already happens when you tap the widget.
just tap force reforce

I just wanted to share that i've tracked down the issue with distance and pressure units not reflecting your Fordpass settings.

I will have a release available in the morning to resolve this issue and a couple more
