The Kid tracks my 2 Classics very well even though there are no follow me connections to it. Within a few minutes after the classics have gone to absorb or float, the kid changes too.  That must be part of the solar learning function programmed into the Kid? If it is, the programming is working very well.

It doesn't seem to respond to the classics in EQ though. I have do that manually.

I don't think the auto equalizing on the Kid has been enabled yet - look for it in future firmware.  Also I do not believe there is any solar learning function to the Kid - what ever settings you have in it must be letting the Classic lead and it just changes over because the Kid settings are achieved at about the same time.
