No, wasn't charging/plugged in. I ignored the 12V increases when charging, those are normal. I use NodeRed for my automations (Started 3 years ago before HA automations got as good as they are now). Here's what it does, and if you know NodeRed, you should be able to implement the same easy from...

Hey, I noticed something change recently. I have an automation that automatically does a remote update every hour with a 10 minute randomizer in (so it's not exactly every hour). And it stops once the 12V battery hits 75% so I don't accidentally drain that. (Seems to drain about 1% per refresh...

Anyone have an install date yet? (Or gotten their system installed?) It's been quiet for a while..

The status is visible in the API. I use Home Assistant with the fordpass integration, and I can use that app to see if the truck is locked or not. But if you don't have HA, that's a steep entry just to see if the truck is locked. (Plus some automation to actively query the truck. Cause the truck...

We got our 2014 F150 Line-X'd in Hudson, and it served us well for 10 years. The current Lightning got a similar liner in Greenfield MA (Don't recall the brand, but can look it up if you're interested), so well out of the 495 loop.

In Massachusetts the energy companies (Eversource/National Grid) are doing a V2X demo. It only covers 3 vehicle models, and the Lightning with the FCSP and HIS system is one of them. They are partnering with Sunrun for installation and TMH (The Mobility House) for the software aspect. Still in...

I would love to only pay $300. I have solar (10MWh per year), and the past 3 months I've been getting a $10 credit on average every month. Just about breaking even. And in the winter I'll be paying $600-$900 a month. (Rates will be around $0.35/kWh) It depends on where you are. In the northeast...

Honestly, this should be an easy fix. I can already control my wife's zone lighting with the Home Assistant Fordpass integration. So it's already in the API.. They just need to update the app to make it visible and controllable.

That image has so many issues... I can't even read the words underneath the V8... And how does that frunk close? Why did it get halved in depth? Is that intentionally leaving the front open to air cool the V8? (That actually makes the most sense out of all the weird things on the image) And...

At least AI put the gun off-center, more in front of driver for better aiming accuracy.

I do have a sizable system for residential (SolarEdge lists it as 12.42 kWp, but it's a 4k and 6k inverter pair, so 10kW max, which on the best of days I don't get) But with the 9.6kW from the HIS, that's still under the 25 limit. I think the issue they're looking at is the fact that these...

Has anyone gotten an installation date yet? (I remember someone saying they were slated for an August install?) I have been talking with Sunrun on some questions regarding our existing solar panels. Here's the updates from that: - The HIS just works with the F150. They will create a subpanel on...

What's the kWh per gallon on the generator?

Seriously? That's supply and delivery? We're in opposite country. Our gas is only $2.90 (vs your $4.50), and electric is at $0.34/kWh. So driving EV is roughly 20% more expensive than ICE... (And we only get about 2 mi/kWh average due to only getting 1.5 in winter)

I got an email confirmation that my rebate for the FCSP install was approved and I'll be getting a check in the mail. So for anyone in MA, do try and apply for it. It's worth a shot.

Is that a current good one for fordpass? Based on this forum (some other thread), I am on v1.70 of https://github.com/itchannel/fordpass-ha. But it's been static without any updates. However it does work. So I am... content? I would love more access though. There's a lot of things in the...

Update from Katie at TMH: The Terms and Conditions were purposefully vague when it comes to residential charge management services from The Mobility House. To be transparent, 2026 will be the first time TMH is participating in ConnectedSolutions using V2G—we want to understand the revenues that...

We're in W.Mass, and the Ford dealer in Greenfield (on Rt 2) seems to be decent and services ours (but we also bought it there.). They do have 5 free Blink 22kW chargers (in their employee parking lane.. So rarely available), and just installed two DCFC chargers. So they definitely seem EV...

Just heard back from TMH. Ford Lightnings can only discharge using the HIS system and FCSP. (So solutions like the dcbel ara won't work with the Lightning) Which is unfortunate, cause after looking at the dcbel ara on their site, it looks a solid generation ahead of the HIS. They're also saying...

Sorry, I just got more info back; V2H is included, but only to shed load, or other online actions. It will not be enabled in case of grid loss. (Though I will be asking about that now) Here's their FAQ based on common questions from the first 10 site assessments: (Questions from Joey, answers...
