I have 2 x C150s, one on solar and one on wind, both linked and networked to Mymidnite, all comms are happy and stable :), Latest firmware installed on both, both Auto reset at midnite , which is all good, but i had some float time for the first time while networked to mymidnite ,this logged correctly and cleared the float time at 12pm but at about 12.30 it started to log more float time about 1min for every 30min ,it only logged a total of 6min which is no big deal but just very strange, battery voltage was stable a 24.5ish volts .float set point of 27.4v .
Mymidnite logged float time on both regulators?
I have only had the regulators logging for about 9 days on mymidnite so don't have history to look back at.
Just mysterious float time no biggie  :o 
Any one else seen this??

I am many things but not a insomniac, Just getting info off MYmidNite Web site monitoring, great site, Shows once again today the reset a midnite and then up to about 3am (in the  morning) a total of 7 min float. My local status panel also shows the float time..
No big deal just a phantom float bug in the software i guess,
At this time of year i would be happy to have any float time .. ;D

Yep, I've seen this random FT show up in the LA. I don't do the A-RST, but I suspect it occurs shortly after the Classic writes it's daily data. Not sure why. I don't record with the LA once the Classic goes to Resting so it won't show in my log files. As you say is only a few minutes.
