Hi.

My electronics list for my observatory is coming to completion, but still some software to work out.

I'm using my custom usbrelay roof / power driver, that seems to work well in tesitng.
However my plan is to leave my raspi powered on at all times, as it's the power and roof controller, but have my odroid + camera, mount, etc power on remotely.
The relay driver has power mapping for connect, unpark and park, but as is, i will have to start kstars and ekos to connect to the driver, to initiate connect mapping.
This is a problem when writing my script for connecting everything with ssh tunnels and the raspi chained trough the odroid.

So is there anything i can do on the terminal just to connect to the driver, and then disconnect? I know there is a way to script INDI things in python, but not sure if this is possible. My startup script is BASH, but if i could make a simple executable in python i can execute it from the script?

Hope this makes sense, all tips appreciated

You can use indi_setprop

sourceforge.net/projects/indistarter/

Hi.

Found the documentation indilib.org/develop/developer-manual/104...ting.html#h3-2-usage
What are the correct property and element for connection? CONNECTION and connected?

I guess it will be close to
indi_setprop 'USBRelay2 Roof Dome.CONNECTION.CONNECTED=true'

but it returns
No USBRelay2 Roof Dome.CONNECTION.CONNECTED from localhost:7624

//Edit

That did work.. I will have to check my code. I have a hackish timerhit in my connect to do the connection powering on and off after the powermapping is loaded from the config. Think that is why the relay did not switch.
