No hot water today :(
The Classic that controls the relay that diverts PV output to heating element did not activate with FLOAT HIGH even though the batteries were in FLOAT by midday.
This is because I moved the PVs to the KID and there is no input to the Classic so it never woke up from overnight RESTING.
So when RESTING it seems the AUX controls stay inactive.
So if I connect the Classics in follow-me will the active Classic that goes to FLOAT force the RESTING Classic into FLOAT and thence allow the AUX FLOAT HIGH to become active on the Classic with no input?

BUT, if it has no incoming power, what will it divert?
Or is it that you hope it will divert power that comes in on the non Float HIGH since the pair will sync?
Yes sorry. The Float High is a mode that depends on that Classic. Unlike diversion and waste not etc, Float High is only active when that classic is in float.

The Classic AUX1 FLOAT HIGH is used to divert the PV input to a water heating element. Normally there is always some power going through the Classic to battery so Classic can move into float and then set AUX1 float to High
The problem is a resting Classic means no AUX control (as one would expect!)
What I was really asking was if follow-me will instruct a following and resting Classic to go into Float even though there is no pv input to it. It appears not.
I temporarily resolved the problem by using AUX1 on my main solar Classic 150 to switch in the heating element ssr but that was my Clipper Control output.

yes, I sort of figured that out.
Maybe Mario will get AUX float high output available on the KID
