Just upgraded to the new INDI 1.8.9 drivers, and had a chance to do a bit of testing with the revised Sesto Senso 2 driver.
This is an awesome improvement! Full control over all the motor settings, all from within INDI. As far as I could tell all was working fine. This is a much better control than through the manufacturers software, or even the web interface.
When logging in through its own web-interface, INDI control stopped, which is logical. When logging out of the web-interface, it would take a disconnect/connect cycle to get control back in INDI again. All seems logical and natural.
Havent tried it in an actual focusing procedure under dark skies yet, but pretty certain that should be fine. Thank you both Ian and Jasem for making this work!

Btw, on a slightly different topic. In earlier versions of the Sesto Senso driver you could manually tell it where its absolute position was. That seems to be an option that has disappeared from the Sesto Senso driver and has never been in the Sesto Senso 2 driver. Has that moved somewhere else?
I used that option quite often. If you forget to set the focuser back to 0 at the end of a session, and you manually pull in the focuser while packing in the telescope, you have a mismatch between where INDI thinks the focuser is and where it actually is. In the past you could then just pull the focuser all the way in, tell INDI that it was at 0, and move on from there.
