Off-grid solar and battery monitoring you run yourself. It lives on a Raspberry Pi on your own network, reads a growing list of shunts, BMSs and MPPTs, and shows you what your power's doing. No account needed, and nothing leaves your hardware unless you ask it to.
- Remote access, no open ports. The box dials out to a broker; your phone reaches it back down that same channel. No port-forwarding, no VPN, and the appliance stays invisible to the public internet.
- Scoped, signed sessions. Every request through the broker carries a short-lived pass that says exactly what it may do: full control for you, or a read-only view for a wall display. A link can't be widened into more than it was granted.
- Share a live view, kill it instantly. Hand someone a read-only dashboard link (optionally PIN-protected); revoke it and it's dead on the next request.
The human side of major incidents. When something big breaks, SevOps takes the handoff from your monitoring and runs the whole response: who's in command, what's affected and what it's costing, the updates to execs and customers, and the post-incident review. One tool for the stretch between "something's broken" and "the post-mortem's signed off."
- Blast radius. A live map of what's actually affected: services, customers, and revenue at risk, updated as the incident moves.
- Built for the commander, not the pager. Designed around the people coordinating the response, not the automation underneath it.
