I followed the advice in this thread but no success so far: When indiserver is manually started with indi_asi_wheel and the client connects from remote everything works fine. But if it's Ekos to start the server it doesn't work.
I then tried to:
- Replace the config file name from 'ASI' to 'ZWO'
- Delete the config file and the default config. It then doesn't get recreated by Ekos because the driver is not connected.
- Reset all the tables in the sqlite database
- Upgrade to nightly

In all cases it seems to be Ekos failing to start the driver.
The log only reports a generic failure where the device is referred as 'ASI EFW' by the server but then the client cannot find 'ZWO EFW':
