Detect if remote start worked?

[rjmcfadd]

Is there a reliable way to detect if the remote start was successful? I've tried using both remote start status and ignition status but they don't update in time.

Thank you!

You can update manualy and wait 5 minutes ;)
or
Get eyes on the car?

In the README I saw that the update time is 5 minutes anyway so I don't think that can be made much faster because I think the Ford server isn't faster.

Sorry, but this is what I do...

alias: Confirm Remote Start
description: ""
trigger:

• platform: state
  entity_id:
  • sensor.fordpass_remotestartstatus
    to: Active
    condition: []
    action:
• service: tts.google_translate_say
  data:
  cache: false
  entity_id: media_player.all_speakers
  message: >-
  Your truck is confirmed Started. {{
  states('sensor.fordpass_fuel') }} percent fuel remains.
• service: notify.mobile_app_jmt_s20
  data:
  message: >-
  Remote Start Success. {{ states('sensor.fordpass_fuel') }}% fuel
  remains.
  title: Truck Started
• service: lock.unlock
  data: {}
  target:
