Tools that surface hidden data.
We build software that makes complex systems observable. Open source at the core.
Complex systems hide their data. Devices bury metrics in clunky interfaces. APIs don't expose what you need. The information exists — it's just not accessible. We build bridges.
Products
Cable Modem Monitor
DOCSIS signal monitoring for Home Assistant. Track signal strength, noise margins, and errors across all your modem's channels. 13 verified modems. 70% test coverage.
How We Build
These principles guide every decision — and set expectations for contributors.
We use AI as a force multiplier. Not as a gimmick, but as how a small team ships what used to take a large one. Every contributor benefits from the same tools.
Understand the whole before optimizing parts. Monitoring isn't just numbers — it's understanding how metrics relate and what patterns predict failures.
Fix the system, not the symptom. When something breaks, trace it back. Every bug is a chance to improve the system.
Don't Repeat Yourself. One abstraction handles dozens of modems. Contributors extend patterns — they don't duplicate logic.
Why "Solent"?
Two meanings, one name.
The solent is the forestay cable on a cutter-rigged sailboat — the line that holds under pressure. Nautical heritage runs deep here.
The Solent strait, between England and the Isle of Wight, is famous for currents that confound even experienced sailors. Our tools bring transparency to systems where complexity is invisible until something breaks.
