Can you state some more of the back story, please?
Like was the Heater a replacement was this controller just there and the Heater was new.
Anything else?

It's for electrical equipment that is likely to require work while energized. This thing doesn't. That is my argument. And I see Gus posted before me, and he disagrees with me.

By the way, and just FYI, there is some disagreement on this point, but I believe 110.26 does not apply to transformers. That, however has already been discussed on this forum. So let's not side tract this thread.

Key phrase is "likely to require (examination, adjustments, etc. not certain exact wording) while energized. Which really leaves things wide open for interpretation as you could take a voltage reading at a junction box and consider that to fit in this description, yet most AHJ's only apply this to switchboards, panelboards, anything with a branch circuit overcurrent device (supplemental overcurrent devices usually don't matter) some but not all "controllers".

I agree with you that this thing isn't likely to need examination or adjustments while energized but I can see some thinking otherwise.

The electric and POCO load management is existing and the water heater was replaced with this hybrid model. That's it, pull the whip off, set the unit, re hook up the whip, done. until we weren't 😒
 
Thanks, it looks they just used the whip that was there.

I don't like to lean on something I'd have to needle or service.
I can see why others didn't like it.

No easy answer there,
