Honda My Generator 4+

Great app be sure to do initial set up before hand

I had a hard time with the app at first cause my generator was already running and I could not get it to connect. You need to connect the app to the generator within the first 30 seconds after starting the gen. Mine was already started and I could not shut it down as I was using it to power a kiln for jewelry casting and shutting down was not an option. But once the casting was finished and I shut down and restarted generator it connected with ease and seems after that initial set up it connects anytime to the generator even when I open app well past the initial 30 seaconds after start up.
So while initially frustrated I am now very happy. Just be sure to do the first setup ASAP so you will be good anytime after that.
Only thing that would be nice is if the app could let you know how much gas is left in tank. I did not see where I can monitor that but boy would it be nice if it did mostly if you are in a situation like me an worried that the Honda might run out of gas in the middle of when you don’t want it to 👍

Bluetooth Pairing Issue Resolved

I had trouble connecting the bluetooth for my brand new EU2200i. I reached out to Honda and they were very helpful with troubleshooting the issue. At first when I followed the steps, I would get an unknown generator appearing within the 30 secs pairing window, it asks you to repair again, what you need to do is turn off the generator and then start it up again then proceed with pairing the unknown generator. This restarts the 30 sec clock and you’ll be able to pair successfully within the app.

Developer Response ,

Sorry for the inconvenience that you have experienced recently. Would you mind reaching out to this contact? "pecustomerrelations@ahm.honda.com" The representative will support you with "Unknown."

Useful and works well.

Once you set it up, it automatically connects with your phone as long as the phone is in range.

The maintenance features work. They can be annoying, but they work.
100 hours for oil life? My car oil has a 6,000 mile life. My semi-truck has an oil life of 50,000. The point being, the maintenance reminders are preset, unadjustable, and can be annoying.

The rpm display is very useful. It allows you to measure the usage of devices as you turn them off and on; track battery charging, etc.

The Bluetooth option to turn the generator off from a distance is extremely useful!
But, why in the name of all that is holy isn’t there a timer????

I use this on my semi-truck to reduce idling. It can charge my 4 large truck batteries in 2-4 hours. It easily keeps up with hotel drains: fridge, lights, diesel bunk heater. It does not power the microwave (kind of annoying).
I think the problem there is that the generator senses the load and ramps up the rpm(s) until it redlines, then cuts off. It should just go to max rpm(s) and hold. My trucks battery bank, my inverter, and my microwave set at 70% should work (it has worked in previous applications). But, the generator just revs up and cuts back.

Very good. Not perfect.
