I haven't had it long enough to do it's first excercise but I have faith it will work just fine. My reason for getting the generator is because I was tired of dragging my smaller generator out and back feeding the power through a couple plugs and not able to power the whole house. Not a big deal since I really don't need to know what it's doing unless I lose power. That's the only thing I was wondering about is if I can get the module free or if there is a charge. You can get the module if you want it hooked up to wifi and apparently it's free but not sure. I'm very pleased with the work they done and were very thorugh with everything.Īpparently the units no longer come with the wifi module to hook the unit up to wifi. It had 2 hours on the hour meter and they already changed the oil so the first maintenance was already done and no leaks were detected. It wasn't in a crate and found that they had an issue with a seal leaking on a few units so they are now doing the break in procedure at their location before bringing the generators out. I'm very pleased with the installation and was expecting the generator to come in a crate and unboxed on site. So don’t take that to mean something is wrong with your wifi installation if on an older model. Newer units will have Wifi info on the display. You will ONLY see info on your smart device via the ML app. Also listening to engine when it cranks to start.ĭo note on the older Egen models you may NOT ever - ever - see any wifi info on your Evolution display screen on the Egen, even after successfully installing the 7071 wifi kit. For best info check your battery condition with volt meter while battery is disconnected from the unit. Likely because it is reporting the charge with the battery on the internal charger.ĭon’t know that I’d rely 100% on that info. Usually showing battery charge higher than it may actually be. I do note the battery status is a bit inaccurate. I only have/want the basic service level. Maybe if you buy the “upgraded” version you can do some of this. Nor can your change the exercise schedule. The app will provide all your engine info: run time hours, status, unit tech info, access to manuals….all that stuff.īe advised you CANNOT start/stop your Egen via the app. Once setup is complete (your app will report that) tweak settings as you like - name your unit, update service info, ID your preferred egen service provider (optional), etc. Then look for and connect to home wifi system same as you would any other device you connect to your system. All-in-all the app works well.Ĭonnected (joined) to ML signal, follow directions. The new app handles all from install to set-up for your unit. Generac should be more informative about not needing that old app now.). (You no longer need the old Mobile Link Install app. Use the new Mobile Link app downloaded to smart phone. Mounted wifi module to engine enclosure as needed using parts provided in kit.Ĭonnect wifi harness to battery. Routed wifi harness wires neatly and safely as needed inside the enclosure. Isolated Egen from all power, disconnected battery.ĭrill the 1-1/8” hole in the reference dimple designated by Generac (marked by label). Meaning there was a Bosch-type connector in the Control Panel harness ready to accept the new wifi module.Īssured I had good wifi signal at my unit before I ordered the kit.
