Dear all,

I am playing with the indi focuser simulator, which is absolutely awesome because the camera simulator also simulates the defocus/blurring accordingly
At some point, I'd like to implement the solution that runs with the simulator in real life. Unfortunately, I realized that, on the contrary of the simulator, getting /setting absolute position on off-the-shelf focuser is usually impossible due to the absence of encoder on commercial solution.
Even a low resolution encoder would be fine, or even a homing sensor with the hability to set home position (much like on the common 3d printers) would be nice to control a remote telescope, but it looks like there is no such solution currently available.

Please tell me if there are solutions available to get to know the absolute position of the focuser

Thank you in advance for your help.
