Energy Storage/Whole Home Backup/Home Integration System (HIS)

I thought PPOB is standard on all models.

9.6kW - standard only on Platinum

If you are thinking about buying a Lightning, you need to buy one with Pro Power OnBoard. I bought a 23 XLT Lightning with the PPOB and no other options, not even the $500 charging cable. The PPOB system should be standard on the Lightnings in my opinion.

PPOB 9.6kW - is an option on some - was on my 2023 Pro.
They all have the 2.4kW version standard, some have the 9.6kW standard.

Does the HIS allow any F150 to plug in and power your house? I thought I read something where there was a pairing step when setting up HIS. Maybe this was a connection with your phone and not the truck, I don't recall. The question is, is the HIS specific to a single truck or can any truck be plugged in? I am considering a research project where we install many (5?, 10?) HIS systems on public buildings to use for backup power. Problems with reliability aside, can any F150 truck plug in? How about ANY CCS vehicle?

I believe HIS is only for the Ford lightning! My understanding is that at this point in time only the lightning and the cyber truck have the bidirectional capability that is required for this type of set up. However I do not believe Tesla has come out with whatever software is necessary for you to do it with the cyber truck and would also require the power wall three. This could have changed in the last few months and I could be wrong, but this was my understanding!!
