Hello,I am experiencing a problem with following setup:RPI with Indi-web and Indi latest git version connected to Camera, scope, etc.MacBook Air tested with  Kstars 3.5.2 stable and 3.5.3 beta. When you start the profile in Kstars, all devices appear and everything looks ok.When you now enter a temperature (e.g: -20) the status line in Kstars states cooler on, while the camera states failed to activate cooler.The camera does not cool down.... .
Has anyone experience similar  behavior ? See here: [2021-03-24T16:25:43.765 CET INFO ][   org.kde.kstars.ekos.capture] - "Cooler is on"[2021-03-24T16:25:43.779 CET DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - < ZWO CCD ASI1600MM Pro >: < CCD_CONTROLS >[2021-03-24T16:25:43.782 CET DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - < ZWO CCD ASI1600MM Pro >: < CCD_CONTROLS_MODE >[2021-03-24T16:25:43.783 CET DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - < ZWO CCD ASI1600MM Pro >: < CCD_VIDEO_FORMAT >[2021-03-24T16:25:43.785 CET DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - < ZWO CCD ASI1600MM Pro >: < BLINK >[2021-03-24T16:25:43.785 CET DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - < ZWO CCD ASI1600MM Pro >: < ADC_DEPTH >[2021-03-24T16:25:43.786 CET DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - < ZWO CCD ASI1600MM Pro >: < SDK > [2021-03-24T16:26:04.832 CET INFO ][   org.kde.kstars.ekos.capture] - "Cooler is on". <

Hello,
just directly on the Raspberry PI, the result is the same.

Power is ok and camera is cooling to 0 degrees, it is just not possible to set other values. This applies to both, the camera tab Kstars as well as the Indi driver gui .

Hello Jasem, could that be a type Problem?
the return value of bool ASICCD::activateCooler(bool enable) is of type ASI_ERROR_CODE which is more like an int type...

Especially ASI_SUCCESS should be 0 (?) which would translate to false.
That would explain as well, why I see only 1 "Failed to activate cooler." in the logs, it should be 2 entries, not from SetTemperature and one from activateCooler... .

I will check that later today...

Dirk,

Good catch, I just submitted a fix. Can you please update from GIT and check again?

I already checked successfully with my "version", which was almost the same as yours. I was trying to submit a pull request, but you were faster....

Thank you....
