To all, Lately it seems that I'm taking over more and more off grid projects that have become orphaned by the many possers in our off grid world. Believe me when I say I'm happy to do it. In regards to Optics I've created my own account so that I can view all my clients. The problem I'm running into is that when I try to create a new profile by entering the clients Mate3 MAC address I find that the address is already registered. The clients don't know anything and the installers have disappeared. In some cases the clients do have a login and password. So my question to you is what is the work around here? Is there a way to locally clear the info at the Mate3 or is this something that has to be done at OB HQ? If so, what kind of documentation would be required from the client to provide to OB to allow someone else to "take over" administrative rights of the system? I did reach out to OB on the issue but have received no response as of yet. I will say, when it works it is awesome.
