I use OpticsRE on my off grid system. It seems stable in its current revision. There are a few things that bug me about the GUI, such as not being able to make drop-down preferences retain settings on log-in for their graphs. Also not being able to make shunts display on top of dashboard (i dont use outback charge controllers, so it cant tell my PV output except through FNDC shunt). Curious to see how the mobile app looks if it ever comes out, as some of the data from graphs is difficult to extrapolate on a mobile device, as you cant hover a mouse over parts of the graphs. Other than that it seems solid, and is set up nice for dealer/installers to manage multiple sites at a glance. I love being able to write to the aux relays and turn loads/charging sources on and off at will. Ive not used it very long but it seems promising and kinda neat. :)
