FordConnect Query Integration - a (read only) alternative to Fordpass

marq24 · January 9, 2026, 5:14pm

After I have provided some other integrations in the past, I just have finished the initial release of an alternative to fordpass.

Please note, that this is a private project - I do not have any connection to Ford.

Requirements

A Ford Developer Account
A registered Ford Application with the required permissions
The clientId and clientSecret for this application
Have installed the integration via HACS (or manual copy of the files)

Known Issues

This is a custom HACS Integration, so you have to add the repository manually to your HACS before you can install it

Your feedback is highly appreciated - TIA

Thanks for putting this together, just wanted to note that when I was trying to get the clientId and secret from Ford it kept failing until I removed the accented characters from my name (and to be on the safe side I put my full name as well under company for the personal developer profile as the 400 error in the network log indicated that the Ford web server was not happy with how the businessName parameter was provided for the OAuth credentials generation).

Thank you! Version 2026.3.4 works great in North America.

 {{ value.replace(' psi', '') | float if value else 0 }}

See Developer tools, Current entity states: Entity: sensor.fcq_YOUR-VIN-HERE_tirepressure

 {% set value = state_attr('sensor.fcq_YOUR_VIN_HERE_battery', 'batteryVoltage') %}
 {{ value | float | round(1) | string ~  " V" }}
