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).

what’s why the instructions say:

Thank you! Version 2026.3.4 works great in North America.

Sample Helper Templates for individual tire pressures and battery voltage:

 {% set value = state_attr('sensor.fcq_YOUR-VIN-HERE_tirepressure', 'frontLeft') %}
 {{ 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" }}

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

@marq24 I have been trying to set up this integration but I always end up with a 500 error when I try to complete the oauth.

I have set up a developer @ccount with client id and secret. I have tried logging in with my main fordpass account and a second account that I invited to my car

This is the error:

{"timestamp":"2026-06-13T23:05:16.634397868","status":500,"error":"500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR","message":"Error validating provided info","messageNumber":"1000","traceId":"d1b05d46-9cb1-4050-94aa-2201e7978faf","path":"path-not-available"}

Any idea what I may have done wrong? I am in Australia if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Paul

@paulw11 - best to my knowledge this Ford is offering the API (right now) for EU / USA / CAN only

Hello All, first thank you @marq24 for this integration.

i successfully installed and configured this integration. I see some sensors, but it looks like i am missing a lot more, e.g. tire pressure and others mentioned in the github repository. I've attached a screenshot of what i do see. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
Alon

if you need help/support, create a issue @ github and provide debug log output from the integration - TIA
