Also, there does not seem to be anything groundbreaking or 'newsworthy' about the submission. You are just looking to get your product more customers, not looking to start a discussion.

Well, I think I have even more to learn about HN and netiquette in general. The original post was a "Show HN" ... what I was supposed to write to start a discussion?
Maybe if your product is groundbreaking or has a unique value proposition would not be marked as spam.
I never dig in to your about page but you have seemingly taken a journey that is in itself iteresting to HN - you started working at company X and wrote some OSS software that was useful. You and others kept improving it at nights I guess, then it broke out of one company and is used at many - how did that happen? Who is the customer you realised it was not just friends and family.
You set up on your own - a big thing round here, and you did so supporting OSS software.
If you want some interest can I suggest a three part blog post on how you and your team got started, when you broke out of just the one company and when you broke into a start up - and keep it about you and your colleagues - the actual product is a mcguffin - only tell us the parts about the pAinful lessons of test coverage or the inabity to remotely diagnose that meant a 2 am drive to another city
Tell us your story.
And redo that template :-)
I wonder what an ohmmeter stock photo looks like ...
