I am playing with indi_watchdog locally before to put it in real use.
I use today ppa version 1.6.0+r3552~201711151032~ubuntu17.10.1
I think I configure everything: indiserver set to localhost 7624, active telescope set to my eqmod simulator, Park Mount is checked.
I connect and then set threshold to 1 a few time to check it receive the heartbeat.
Then wait 1 minute and expect to see eqmod parked, but it never park.
From the debug log it try to connect to the server but this not work
DEBUG 279.318433 sec : Received heart beat from client.
DEBUG 291.832976 sec : Received heart beat from client.

Am I forgetting something or is it a bug?

Thanks Patrick for the report. There was indeed an issue as watchdogclient was also waiting for a dome connection when it is not required. This is fixed now, please pull and let me know if it works for you.
