I'm investigating whether or not it is feasible to add support for ASCOM Alpaca devices in INDI. Alpaca devices do not require Windows to run, and operate completely on a REST API, with automatic discovery via UDP broadcast.

I've successfully tested a CoverCalibrator with automatic discovery, and I'd like to see if the community sees this as a useful tool.

Here's the link: github.com/rickbassham/indi-alpaca

I believe there may already be some work on going in this area by someone called “Mark” over at the alpaca developers forum. You might want to touch base with him.

I could be wrong but that’s sort of what I got the impression of what he was working on. See ascomtalk.groups.io/g/Developer/topic/95297306#5982
