The greenMonitor Renewable Energy Monitor software from greenHouse Computers supports all of the basic OutBack Power Technologies Mate display controller commands — AUX on and off, Inverter On, Off and Search, and AC Input Drop and Use — as well as the advanced commands from the OEM version of the Mate display controller that give you completely control over your inverters, without having to stand in front of a Mate and push buttons.

Unlike WattPlot, automatic command execution is not an expensive upgrade, it is included in our lowest priced Basic Edition license.

Access to the Mate display controller is through a secure connection which can be set up to require a user name and password, further protecting your system from unauthorized changes. More features, better security, lower price. Easy decision.

OutBack allows a limited number of commands to be sent to the Mate (for the Master inverter) from an external source (Inverter On/Off, Search, AC Use/Drop, Aux On/Off). WattPlot supports all of these, including through the Remote program.
