Nice! I have an older system by The Energy Detective (TED 5000). The Emporia has much better graphics. How many circuits do you monitor in total?

18. I have a whole house unit on the Charge Station Pro because, the individual circuit sensors that are rated for 50 amps loose accuracy at about 55 apms. Then I have a separate unit with 16 sensors, and then the Emporia charger has it's own graph.

I have similar situation as Pioneer, FCSP app has issues more than weekly, but Emporia on Volvo no problems whatsoever, so far. I don’t even try anymore with FCSP App any more. Ford Pass works fine through the truck.

Here we go again. Was forced to reboot my FCSP because it lost connection and wasn't reporting usage. After rebooting it went straight to 80 amps, while the app was showing it was still set lower.
After struggling with it for about 45 minutes, and numerous reboots later, I finally got it derated.
@Ford Motor Company I have a Rachio sprinkler controller that I purchased in 2016 that is farther away from my wireless router, and it never loses connection. It's pretty pathetic that we have to keep dealing with these software problems.

I’ve gotten so tired of disassembling the thing to reboot it and reconnect to my WiFi over the past year. I gave up. It’s again disconnected from my router that’s 10 FEET away from the damn thing. Now it’s just a simple “dumb” charger.

My Traeger is 5x farther from
WiFi than my FCSP and I can smoke meat with more reliability

Here we go again, @Ford Motor Company
Didn't even reboot my FCSP this time. It just reset to full power, but FordPass still shows it being derated. You may be able to get away with this stuff with die-hard early adopters, but you're not going to gain any new customers in this space if you show you can't make reliable products.

That would cause an extremely serious safety hazard if the FCSP were connected to a NEMA 14-50 outlet!Here we go again, @Ford Motor Company

Do you have the Maximum Current Setting Switch inside FCSP set to a lower limit? I am using a 14-50 outlet to power my FCSP. I initially set it at 40 amps, but the breaker was getting warmer than I liked, so I reduced it to 32 amps. I have never seen the charge current exceed the 32 amp setting. I was not confident in using the FordPass app to set the limit.
I expect most owners are using the FordPass app to set their charging current. This sounds like another NHTSA safety issue.

Installation instruction encourage hard wiring FCSP, for those who use a lower capacity conductor, breaker, or a 14-50 connection MUST use the the in cabinet derating control to prevent over current situations.

Since the installation instructions state “hardwire to a junction box”, using a cord and plug on the FCSP would be a violation of NEC 110.3(B).
