Enhancement of issue

Hi @Brandawg93

thanks for the great plugin and your work. I have it since a week in operation and find it really great!

I myself own a Ford Kuga Plug-In Hybrid 2021 (PHEV) and wanted to ask you if you could add a few extensions?

I could provide you with the required data via HTTPS recording through the Fordpass app.

I have thought of the following functions as "custom characteristics" as long as they can be read out:

Functions:

• Wifi Hotspot (On/Off)
• Securialert (On/Off)

Information:

• Display of the battery level
• Remaining range total
• Remaining range battery
• Remaining range fuel
• Odometer
• Vehicle status (warning messages)
• Tire pressure control
• Oil condition
• VIN

Would be very happy to get an answer from you!

Best regards Nastra

Sure! If you could provide me with the information in the requests, I could hook them up to more switches and controls. Although, if you're savvy enough to retrieve the API calls, you may be interested in forking the project and making the changes yourself and submitting a PR. It would just show you as an official contributor to the project. 😃

Thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately my programming skills are not sufficient to help at this point 😅

But I should be able to provide the data for this. I have already made a few captures of the HTTPS connections of the fordpass app.

So that I can give you the right data you have to explain me briefly which you need exactly?

[Brandawg93]

I would just need the main status request and any command requests that you find that controls a feature.

Is this maybe helpful?

That helps! Do you know if you can control (i.e. turn on and off) anything else besides the engine and door locks with your hybrid?

[Nastras]

Cool 👍

Two functions I can still control in my app.

• Wifi Hotspot
• Securialert

Unfortunately, I can not currently make a HTTPS query because the car is in the garage and has no cellular network.

I will drive tomorrow with the car and send you the data then.

[Nastras]

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I did not make it earlier.

Unfortunately, after several attempts, I have to tell you that I can't record HTTPS traffic for the two execution commands. For example, when I turn the wifi on and off, it doesn't show me anything in the log that can be used. Why I can not explain 🙁

[Brandawg93]

No worries. I'll leave this open for a while just in case someone else sees this and can help out. If you do end up finding the commands just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[Nastras]

That's a good idea 👍

Will you still extend the plugin with the above known information like battery level etc?

[Nastras]

Would be very happy to test it with you 😉?

[Brandawg93]

It should already have battery info. It's under the lock's "battery".

[Nastras]

Really? I am only shown a battery level on the car in HK. This does not show the battery level but the fuel level of the tank.

[Brandawg93]

Ah! That makes sense. Your vehicle has both a battery and fuel level. I have the battery currently set to show the fuel level unless it is null in which case it falls back to battery since most vehicles are fuel and some are EV. I didn't account for hybrid. 😃 I'm not sure if there is a way to show both battery and fuel, but I'll tinker with it when I get a chance.

[Nastras]

💪👌👍

My suggestion would be to use the battery indicator for EV and Hybrid batteries and display fuel as custom characteristics in percent?

Wouldn't it be possible to display many values from above as a custom characteristics? These could but each user via the config show and hide?

[Brandawg93]

What app is the second picture? My fordpass app doesn't look like that.

[Nastras]

It's a Homekit app. This is called HomeDash is similar to the Eve app. More information is displayed more than in the Apple Home app.

This is what it looks like for me in the Eve app.
