Remote Start Limit - How To Track, Flag, or Prevent?

Open ziptbm opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Per this post in the HA forums, FordPass limits remote start attempts to 2 times before the vehicle must be driven to re-enable.

What's the best way to flag, alert, or prevent multiple restart attempts to avoid pinging the FordPass APIs too many times and risking account bans? I'm thinking of multiple driver situations, where one user may have exceeded and the other would not know.

In the thread, - Max-Starts-Exceeded was suggested as something that may be helpful. Ideally, there's something in the API that can provide this data rather than using manual helpers in Home Assistant that are incomplete (since it won't capture remote starts from the actual FordPass app). Any options here in the future?
