Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. But, I am trying to connect my Celestron hand controller to my 2020 M1 Macbook via USB but EKOS cannot detect the hand controller.

Currently, I have a USB-C to USB hub converter (UBS-C converter with one USB-3.0 and 2 USB-2.0 ports) that is connected to NexStar+ hand controller. In the System Information (System Information output underneath), I do see a USB-Serial controller connected and it goes away when I disconnect the controller from the converter. In the INDI control panel, I don't see any system ports that correspond to the USB-Serial converter. I know the USB hub is working because I can detect storage USBs as well as use the Canon camera on Windows VM.

Is this an issue with INDI or a limitation with MacOS?
