See the correct parking commands below according the documentation:

Command: “:MP1#”
Response: “1”
This command invokes the parked mode. In parked mode, the telescope cannot slew, track, and
guide unless a un-park command is issued.
Caution: Any movement caused by hand controller will make the telescope into un-park state.

Command: “:AP#”
Response: “0” Un-parking state, “1” Parking state.
This command gets the parking status.

Command: “:MP0#”
Response: “1”
This command un-parks the telescope.

In front of the park and unpark button I would like to see a “Go To Home” button and a status if the mount is at home.
Command: “:MH#”
Respond: “1”
This command will slew to the “home” position immediately .
Command: “:AH#”
Respond: “0” The telescope is not at “home” position,
Respond: “1” The telescope is at “home” position.
This command returns whether the telescope is at “home” position
