When I charged closed loop today on the Hawkes Bay it seems like it was stuck in Absorb and brought the voltage up higher than my absorb setting. 
This is the first good sunny day since I got the closed loop running so I will have to watch it again tomorrow. I had it at 55.2v Absorb 25 minutes Absorb time, and 53.6 Float. I had to force the Float from the MNGP2 .
I added in ending amps so will see what it does tomorrow.

I made sure I updated my Hawkes Bay Firmware to latest - I was one step below latest one . The Closed loop seems to work fine and the trouble I reported with it not going out of absorb seems to be gone , though I did add ending amps into it too.
I have three different controllers on the system so it is tough to watch them all at once. I also added a Victron Smart shunt on my system so it can see everything rather than the Classic/ Hawkes Bay whizbangs which didn't take in the third controller.   I do have monitoring of the Classic, 5 batteries, and Smart Shunt all in Grafana. I am also bringing everything over to Home Assistant now too.
Two of my controllers are on closed loop . I split my Canbus data from batteries to go to two different controllers ( one being the Hawkes Bay)  and that seems to work fine.

I also reverted boB's special lithium Classic test firmware back to stock firmware since it suddenly developed the zero Soc bug that everyone else had reported that never happened to mine. This zero SOC came after I shut down my system to install smart shunt.
Anyway it is nice to get a full day of sun here in Wisconsin .
