For all those frustrated about channels that buy EVs, drive them for a short while, then sell them, there is a YT channel out there that doesn’t do that. A channel thats been covering the industry for (checks) 15 years. Just saying ;) Oh, and also, for that channel, the vehicles aren’t write...

We just tweaked the app a little more to squish some bugs - and also add Power Cut detection. Yes, I know it sounds weird, but if you have a UPS system for a computer or something, this will help you figure out when a power cut occurs, so you can then activate graceful shutdowns if the HIS...

I've been working on tidying the code, and think I've squished one particularly pernicious bug. I've also made a video explaining it in more detail:

In the process of trying to sign up - watch this space :)

First, there is a *known* problem with these units that sounds familiar. You'll need Ford to do a remote diagnosis, or at least, escalate it up the chain. Hopefully @Ford Motor Company can help? I'm on my... second or third board, I think. If you'd prefer NOT to do that, and you're happy with a...

You can't keep it. Someone is probably missing it. Call the pound, and then if nobody claims it, you can keep it ;) Get it neutered too. I mean, you don't want it being a daddy truck to little lightnings.

It's worth noting that the authors are working together one this :) the one that Matthias has worked on (marq24) is an EV-centric one. I'd love to see what I did (which isn't all that good) rolled into one of the other projects. :)

I don't have a bunch of time, but this was kind of a holiday project. I've been using the fork of FordPass worked on by Marq - but that's the lovely think about open source/Github. If someone can make a version work when the original coder is unable to work on it, it's possible! For this...

After further testing and re-writing, we're now at Version 0.2.0. of the Home Assistant integration I built off of this excellent api :) https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/home-assistant-local-integration-for-ford-charge-station-pro-passive-only.28997/

Just an update here. After a long weekend of hair-pulling, we have the first *stable* version of the integration. https://github.com/aminorjourney/local-fcsp/

So, I learned something today. Tried refactoring and dropping the scan interval below the 60 seconds my integration has been using. Enabling debug and dumping a lot of data into HA at that rate caused the charging station to be VERY unhappy indeed. It kept erroring out with CF01. Reverted...

Do you see network traffic? Also, in my experience the initial connect is SLOW>

Nice trip, Rob. I'm sorry I didn't get your messages about going past until you were half-way to California :rolleyes:

You'd said you got a network adapter working on it, but were you powering from the port?

Were you running any code?

Well, that didn't take long. I can confirm that changing the FCSP's Internet access (block at the head of the network) means you can't change the current via the FordPass app. Sure there's a way to;)

Another point @ericpullen: After playing with this a while (ie, playing with the current setting of our FCSP through the app), I think max_amps is not the current software limit but the actual hardware limit set inside the unit. I need to do some more digging to check this (I will break out...

Nice! If you HAVE a HIS, this is the logic I've been using in my repo. def interpret_charger_status(charger_info, inverter_info): if not charger_info: return None state = charger_info.get("state") if state == "CS00": return "Idle" elif state == "CS01"...

Well, my efforts are available! https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/home-assistant-local-integration-for-ford-charge-station-pro-passive-only.28997/#post-539241

Where we live it’s not unusual to have multiple outs in a storm. One year, our power was out for a day… and came back on for a few hours before dying again. 20kW charging saved our butts! And yeah Ford should have done better on this or made it a customer BTO.
