This is my first post here but I want to let everyone know that I successfully wrote software to integrate my Vera and Alexa to start my 2014 F150 with the old style Ford remote access app. Also unlock and lock as well.

The reason I am posting here is because I am sick of how unreliable Vera is (have had different models throughout the past 5 years but it’s become stale and too unreliable). I will port over the F150 script to ST and will update this thread when I do as long as people are still interested.

Mike I am absolutely interested. I have the Ford remote access on a 2017 Explorer. My main use is to be able to schedule ST to start the car each morning at a scheduled time and to lock the doors each night at a scheduled time in case that gets forgotten.

23

Awesome, I have mine scheduled to do exactly that.

Shoot me a private message to discuss details. Maybe you can help me take it to the next step.

24

I’m assuming this doesn’t apply to FordPass?

25

I have a 2016 C-Max Energi that I can access through https://myfordmobile.com

Would I be able to integrate using your setup?

26

My system uses https://my.fordremoteaccess.com/ which I believe is neither FordPass or My Ford Mobile.

27

I’m interested in the software you wrote to integrate Vera and Alexa to Ford Remote Access. Is this available?

28

Shoot me a private message, I can make it available for you :slight_smile:

Looks like I’m not able to send messages yet (just joined). Are you willing to message me?

Thank you

Just sent you a message.

For anyone else interested, the current setup requires a PC to host a script (program) which looks for triggers. I would like to convert it to Python or something to run on a Raspberry PI but that’s out of my skill set. Anyone want to help on that?

31

I am also interested but not able to send a message.

32

Their absolutely is an API. Fordpass uses the SmartDeviceLink API.

33

@MikesST I’m interested in the script and porting it to another language.

@darkstar939

How are you certain it uses the same API?

34

Signed up for a developer account at developer.ford.com and read the documentation it took me like 2 minutes to figure that out.

35

Lmao… I didn’t even think to do that… I thought i would have to reverse engineer my way in :confused:

36

correction, I am not certain ford pass uses the same api, what I meant was that fordpass uses an API. However there is an api available using sdl

37

The old Ford Remote system doeS NOT use Ford Pass. There is no API for their old system.

38

we may still have to reverse engineer the way in but at least we will have documentation to help do it and wont be doing it blind

39

FordPass was converted to use Ford’s new Transportation Mobility Cloud api they obtained through the acquisition of Autonomic about a year ago. This is the new way all connected apps will communicate with the Ford mobility ecosystem in the future. Read more here:

Looks like 2011 - 2017 would be RemoteAccess, any 18+ would be the FordPass:

@tonesto7, not sure if this changes your offer to help @MikesST with his port since it won’t help your 2018 lol.

Although no API, the phone app functionality is totally replicated on the web page when you sign in.
