  1. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    Great to see Nicki in here, I'm a fan of the channel and been following your HIS videos, amongst others. My 2023 Lariat ER was purchased in January, HIS installed around May/June and still cant get it to work. No successful tests or transfers. I have been following the threads, waiting...
  2. ALL the CHANGES to the 2024 Ford F-150 LIGHTNING

    Aside from on board scales, generally looks like they cut/reduced a lot of options to lower pricing. I got a 23 Lariat ER with power running boards in January for $89k, so I have some options the 24 lariat will not have, but at the price I paid, I could have gotten the Platinum. I guess its the...
  3. Intelligent backup power issues/unreliable

    Tom Moloughney from State of Charge is the only one I have seen that has gotten this to work successfully. I follow Nicki's channel from Transport Evolved, she seems to be in the same boat as the rest of us. If they can't get her system working as an EV journalist, I feel there is little hope...
  4. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    I suspect they can't fix the issues with software alone and a hardware change might be inevitable. I sincerely appreciate everyone posting updates to this thread, I will keep monitoring it for updates and hopefully we will get some good news on the horizon.
  5. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    Not good news but at least its something to go by. Thanks for keeping us posted.
  6. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    So where is the famous update that was supposed to be released by end of July? We need to get this damn system working. We are now one week into August, did anyone get it?
  7. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    I have no issue with the system being proprietary to Ford, SO LONG AS IT WORKS! Having a backup power system rely on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication, especially when they are hardwired to each other, is just a bonehead design. Sure the truck, charger and backup system can have their own Wi-Fi...
  8. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    I purchased the F150 solely because of the Home Integration System. I preferred the Rivian, but went with the Lightning because of the home backup ability. So I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. Ford needs to solve this problem!
  9. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    I'm still trying to figure out if this is positive or negative news. It's positive they have an update coming later this month, but if its not a mass update going to all Lightning owners, it sounds untested and they want to try it out on a small sample of owners before doing a mass release...
  10. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    My system was professionally installed, but I have never had a successful test of the HIS. I'm patiently waiting for the software update to go out, at which point we will test it again. The whole situation has been frustrating and disappointing to say the least, but I'm chalking it up to being...
  11. RAM 1500 (ICE) vs Lightning?

    Owned a 2019 RAM 1500 lImited the last 4-years, just sold it for the Lightning Lariat ER, which I’ve been driving for a month. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the RAM interior, which is far superior and more luxurious. Ride quality of the Lightning is superior though, heavier and handles...
  12. Installed Dualliner Bedliner

    Thanks for sharing. I regret not ordering the spray in liner with my truck. This looks like a nice alternative, and shouldn't have any rattling once installed. I'm ordering one one.
  13. Competition: Ram 1500 REV Specs Released - Range, Towing, Payload and Charge Time Info

    Things I miss about my Ram interior: Power steps retract out AND DOWN making egress in and out of the vehicle much more comfortable. Ford goes out but NOT down, making them almost useless. Rear view mirrors are slightly larger, and have the convex mirror in one corner. Ford has the God awful...
  14. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    Red switch is in the on position, no other disconnects installed as the breakers are within view of the equipment. We are cutting the main breaker to the house to simulate a real power outage. Any other ideas or suggestions? I’m desperate here, willing to try anything.
  15. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    Thank you Hifix! Okay so I disabled EMS as suggested (in the "change machine" menu you have to scan the QR code on your BDI, go back to the menu, then back to "change machine" and the disable option is there). After doing this, the Powerflow menu started having some readings, which was a good...
  16. Competition: Ram 1500 REV Specs Released - Range, Towing, Payload and Charge Time Info

    My 2019 Ram interior is miles ahead of my 2023 Lightning. Ford has a lot of catching up to do in that regard. Obviously the handling, acceleration, quiet ride, etc. is way better in the Lightning, but I don’t know how much is attributed to it being EV vs. gas, so not sure I can give Ford...
  17. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    Anyone know how to find the “disable EMS” in the M Professional app? Like from Main Menu - Options - ??? I have searched everywhere and I can’t find it. Below screen shot from the trouble shooting guide.
  18. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    Some small progress but still not there. I double checked all settings in MPRO app and everything seems to be up-to-date and correct. Only thing is energy/power flow readings show 0, but I assume that is because the CT's are not connected to the main panel? I still don't get why the running...
  19. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    thanks for the info. I will retest tonight and double check everything in the MPRO app. Fingers crossed it's a wrong setting and we get it working.
  20. Installing a Home Integration System for Intelligent Backup Power (without SunRun)

    Ok, tested the HIS system again again today. No luck. Truck screen says”preparing to provide power” but nothing happens. Tried a few times in manual mode, gives a “please wait” screen and times out. Charger LED lights are green, truck LED lights at the charger port are white. System is getting...
