– a new ASCOM Safety monitor and ASCOM Observing conditions driver, both network-aware, so intermittent network issues won’t close the observatory!
– Easier to integrate with other systems:
– MQTT publishing (Solo) – easier NodeRED integration
– JSON data file generation
– PushBullet and PushOver messaging
– Faster time / date synchronization (Solo)
– Improved firmware uploader for Windows (no need to be physically present to reboot the unit)
– many other minor improvements
If your Solo is at version 2.x, you need to perform a simple manual operation.
