OpenScadaLite is a personal project developed by Daniel Fernandez Boada, an experienced software engineer. The project targets a valid niche by offering a modular, 'Lite' SCADA solution in Python, which is useful for educational or small-scale automation purposes. However, the project is in a very early stage with minimal verifiable traction, no significant search footprint, and an inactive community. While the technical foundation appears grounded in legitimate domain expertise, the lack of adoption and external validation currently limits its proof of usefulness score.
