Not how I thought it worked, but seems to be that way

Greg - Did you still have the "120V" toggle on/off switch on your control panel on?  Still need to send a 12V signal to the relay that will energize the 120V to the HW heater that is supplied by the 120V outlet for the HW heater.

Yes, I have to keep the 120 Volt water heater toggle ON for hot water.  I thought I lost that when I bypassed the relay on the EMS board.  But, I didn't.  So, really I still have the exact same functionality for the 120 Volt water heater switch on the control panel.  All I lost was the the ability to automatically shed the HWH if I don't have enough Amps.  I shouldn't have that problem since I only turn it on while on 50 Amp service.  

I thought I was going to have to flip the Circuit breaker on/off every time I wanted electric hot water, but I don't.
