Hi, it me again, i did some check, switched on logging.. and it shows clearly in the loggs that what you think is a focuser is the starsense acessory...
I think its necessary to do a litte bit more checking to assure that whats connected in the aux port i actually a focuser
Also, the driver says my mont in not aligend an get wierd time and utc offset, but i confidently checked that time (gps-updated) and utc offset were correct and i made a quick align in the handset before connecting indi. Still there is some error som were..

Here is a log sample related to the focuser isse:
[2019-04-03T14:54:42.550 CEST DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.indi] - Celestron NexStar : "[DEBUG] CMD <50 01 11 FE 00 00 00 02> "

So I guess the code assumes any attached device that show a version number is a focuser. as you can se in the firmware info string, it says "Starsense", is it possible to get a similar firware info string related to the focuser and use that to do a string search for the work "focuser" (or?) to ensure is the focuser devise and not the "Starsense"...
I guess you sending commands for the focuser might result in other errors/strange behaviour in the hand controller since there is no focuser there...

What can i do?
