Battery Logic #88

Closed paulgbrichardson closed 3 years ago

paulgbrichardson commented 3 years ago

The battery sensor is always STATUS_LOW, but I have a voltage of 13... I updated it manually to STATUS_GOOD but the next update from Ford set it back to Low. I have done ~10 hours of driving over the last three days and either I have a dodgy battery (maybe?) or the logic for the battery sensor isn't quite right.

I did get a low battery alert from Ford a while back as the car was not used due to local lockdowns, but it has been driven a lot since then.

So mine reads as a voltage of 12v and STATUS_GOOD. The status value is set by the ford API so I can only think that there might be something wrong with your battery or it's a little wobbly with your version of car.

Do you have any alerts or messages in the Ford app?

This is what mine looks like

How can i add the battery voltage instead of "STATUS_GOOD" ?

Its an attribute of the battery sensor. If you want it as it's own sensor then create a template sensor - 

- platform: template
  sensors:
    car_voltage:
      friendly_name: "Car Voltage"
      value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.fordpass_battery', 'Battery Voltage') }}"
      unit_of_measurement: "Volts"

Oh thank u so much Paul,

Is that the same for the Phev battery ?

Pass... I don't have an electric car (I wish!!!)

Certainly weird as it drops to 12 and still says Low. I got a warning from the FordPass App in Jan, but nothing since. I have noticed though that the screen in the car says "System turning off to save battery". Its due a service in a month or two so I'll mention it then, sounds like somethings gone screwy.

denperss commented 3 years ago

What car model do u have and year? When is the last time u got it system updated from Ford ?

paulgbrichardson commented 3 years ago

Ford Fiesta - 2019. Its never been into Ford for a service as less than 2 years old. I'll try a system update one of these days, easier said than done, as I can't park close enough to my property to connect to wifi.

denperss commented 3 years ago

Okay thats the reason why u having this issue with (System turning off to save battery)

U need to go to a ford dealer tell them about the issue and ask them to update your car.. This should bee free ;)

Then i think that your problem will be solved in HA after that :) !

denperss commented 3 years ago

They have to do it from the Shop its firmware that endusers dont have access to :(

paulgbrichardson commented 3 years ago

Good to know, not in a rush but might book the service sooner than later, its due May time anyway!

Hi Paul,

Do u know how to do it with the chargeing state as well ? ex state: ChargeTargetReached, Charging, Notready, EvsePaused

EvsePaused = Paused ChargeTargetReached = Fully charged Notready = Not Charged Charging = Charging car

paulgbrichardson commented 3 years ago

I can't help much as I don't have that entity but something like below. If you are also using the last sensor then skip the first two lines.... I followed the following so should be almost there... https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#renaming-sensor-output

- platform: template
  sensors:
    car_charging:
      friendly_name: "Car Charging Status"
      value_template: >-
        {% if is_state('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'EvsePaused') %} 
          Paused
        {% elif  is_state('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'ChargeTargetReached') %}
          Fully charged
        {% elif  is_state('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'Notready') %}
          Not Charged
        {% elif  is_state('sensor.fordpass_elveh', 'Charging') %}
          Charging car
        {% else %}
        {% endif %}

Im just getting, unknown status :(

paulgbrichardson commented 3 years ago

Can you take a screenshot of the entity in the developer tab? Mine just shows Unsupported as I don't have an EV car.
