– 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.
