We just lost power with Hurricane Milton. I’m running house off the Lightning 240/30amp fine using generator inlet. I expect the power to be out at least 2 days.

I can’t seen to find ability to monitor prower output on the App like I believe I was able to do 6 months or so ago. Is there a way to view usage on the app like it can be seen on the car screen?

I believe FORD removed that 'remote' option... no more APP info for ProPower

but, the app WILL continue to show you the KWH of power, or MILES...
which is really the important part, I suppose...

I don't think so.

What you do want to do is to make sure that the Pro Power reserve setting is where you want it, automatic shutdown is disabled (so the truck will stay on indefinitely) and shut off lights, climate control, etc. to minimize power consumption by the truck.

Stay safe.

I think they removed it. YOu can see truck charge but I haven't found Wattage use per circuit like you can find in the truck. Same exact setup as yours, stay safe!

Not like you need advice but I'd start rationing power now like it'll be out for a long time!

Yes
Yeah the elite software developers failed to include it in the latest version of the app. But don't worry, they prioritized a new Karaoke app for the truck truck. Make sure your reserve setting is enough to get you to a charger once power is restored.

Thank you all for replying. I’m monitoring charge and estimated range. went from 79% and 247 miles to 77% and 240 miles of range in 2-1/2 hours.. I’ve lost 7 miles of range in 2-1/2 hours. I have TV, internet, WiFi, ceiling fan, refrigerator and freezer running. Wife brewed some coffee also. Lights flickered once where I think the well pump started up.

Talked to my Son In Law in Sarasota. It’s starting To blow ”hard”. It’s only 35 mph now. He find out what hard is when the eye passes over his house. This sucks big time.
