FCSP Software Version 2.500.34-ford.27+26-08

[TaxmanHog]

Just checked my version after getting caught up on this thread.

It's now at 2.500.34-ford.36+26-28.

So between Tuesday or Wednesday and today it updated.

When I tried to connect to the FCSP it did the usual "sorry, can't find the FCSP" once and then I was able to connect.

Will keep an eye on things and see if anything else happens.

Did you do a power-cycle of the FCSP just prior to this improvement?

My last FCSP power-cycle was Tuesday late morning.

The only improvement I see is that the software was updated. The "sorry, can't connect" issue is about the same as it has been since I added the extra Wi-Fi mesh node in the garage. It connects much more often than it still did before, but I still get the issue once in a while.

I wish I knew when the update installed. I had been keeping the truck unplugged, but I had to charge up Thursday night, so it was plugged in from about 6-7PM Thursday night until Friday afternoon.

Interesting, I'm "hoping" in one hand that a spurious download would fix my system, to date that hasn't happened, still unable to log in to see what the version status is, the truck still charges.

If only I could connect to my FCSP.
It's still reachable from within the Ford app so I can see usage and the like; but I cannot access it via the Charge Station app regardless of the number of resets of the FCSP I effect.

Same here! Interestingly enough, it works well with my Volvo,EX90, but consistently faults out with the Lightning - although it will eventually charge to 80%. I have tried other public Level 2 chargers with no issue.

More data:

I've been working on this for the last day, and it looks as if Ford or Siemens has shut the door on folks wanting to get their own data out of this unit.

The Bootloader exploit has been nuked. A USB Ethernet dongle doesn't register. And until someone figures out the way around it, the latest software is something I can't get to behave.

Personally? I have my secondary 'rescued' FCSP now offering its motherboard to my outside charging duties. I will install an ethernet, socket, and I'm making *progress* getting full local control (without the flaky Siemens/Ford stack or Internet).

But yeah, if you want to keep your FCSP working and what you have working, consider blocking it temporarily from the Internet, and/or doing the root method if you're so inclined and have the knowledge to do so.

My wife (a software engineer turned manager/scrum master/project owner) says that "What someone can make, someone can break".

I live by that

No changes here. FCSP charges the truck fine. I can use the Ford app to change the Charge Station Max Charge Current and the change is reflected in a charge session. I can not read power from Insights from a charge session since last week. In the Charge Station app, I can see my FCSP, but can not connect to it. I can however ping the IP for the FCSP from my phone or computer.

My charging session started 35 minutes ago and the FCSP is showing transferring power (green) in the fordpass app now. My charging rate is the normal 17.3 kw. Definitely something is up.

I have the same issue. Showing transferring, even though I don’t have that set up. Also can’t see the version number anymore through the Ford app. Not sure when that went away. The other night the station was charging at 1 kW to 8 kW normally it charges right at 17. Not sure if it’s related or not.

You don't. That you see in the Charge Station app.

It used to be located in the Ford app under Charging Station. I used the Charging Station app initially to set it up, but I deleted it afterward. I guess I’ll have to download the other app if I want that info now. Thank you.

@Jim657 , I wouldn't worry too much about how the FCSP firmware you have now behaves. Based on your post, you are probably at least a version or two behind the latest that's out now and as your image shows (see below), you have a firmware update pending.
