There are certainly other problems with the system including Ford's own updates that break things. It's good that you don't appear to have BT issues now but it's a potential whack-a-mole problem inherent in the system design.Thanks v2h8484, your point is well taken although I have a different problem as the one you describe.
Perhaps you could put a clamp meter on the 12V battery to see if there is noticeable battery current difference between working and not working conditions.My truck will not power the house if it sits for a long period of time. If I drive the truck and then plug it in then test the system, it works.
I am no software expert but this is what I believe has happened: Ford software engineers in an effort to save/preserve the 12v battery developed software for the Lightning to put certain systems to "sleep" in order to save the 12V battery. Once this software was applied to my 2022 Lightning the system became inoperable once the truck had been sitting for an extended period of time. When they developed this software the customers that owned Lightnings with Home Integration systems were ignored or forgot about. Great idea of Ford's to preserve the 12v battery but now they need to develop other software to make the Lightnings with Home Integration systems work. My opinion for what it is worth.
