Turning on and off Stellarmate hotspot

I am running Stellarmate 1.7.5 on an rpi4 using noVNC from a macbook. I usually run using the hotspot ,as the house WIfi is too weak to reach the garden. A few days ago I needed to download Hips from the internet so I used the Stellarmate dashboard to connect to the house wifi and everything went fine for the download. I then used the dashboard to turn back on the hotspot and I could communicate with the Stellarmate os without a problem. However when I started up the system again that evening I found that The hotspot had turned off and I could only connect using the house Wifi. I have gone around the loop a few times and the hotspot keeps turning off. In the past it seems to me that when I turned on the hotspot it stayed on. What am I missing? Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks for any help.

Yes, thanks, that worked. It would be nice if turning on and off with the dashboard worked too since it is much simpler to do it from the Mac than crank up the Stellarmate app on a tablet.
Thanks again.

Thanks, I think there is a slight difference between the two, we're looking into it.
