The authors classify left-invariant Lorentzian metrics on the direct product of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group and the Euclidean space. They prove that, up to scaling and automorphisms, there exist exactly six such metrics, one of them is flat and the others are Ricci solitons but not Einstein.
