it seems that Jasem already fixed this issue as part of another one.
github.com/indilib/indi/issues/1582
I will test and report here if it works fine with the scheduler as well. thanks again for your support.

Looking at the code seems that the park() method is not managing lights.
I will open an issue on github providing these informations. Probably Jasem should look into it because the bug could also be in the parent lx200 and I immediately got lost in the class hierachy.
Thanks a lot for your help.

hi Wolfgang,
you're absolutely right: The parking light is always green, also during slewing and parking. But the messages in the log are reporting parking and parked correctly (see attachments).
So the scheduler rely on the status light been green/yellow to proceed to the next shutdown step? isn't there a 'parking status' variable in Ekos?
Thanks,
Ferrante

hi Wolfgang,
sorry to bother you with this issue again, but I still struggle to understand the LX200 driver/Scheduler interaction when the shutdown procedure runs.
I see a different behavior when switching from LX200 mount driver to Simulators (Simulators has the expected behavior so the issue is likely on LX200 side), see logs below.
I'm not familiar with the scheduler code, what triggers the 'mount parked' status? It would help me to understand if the LX200 driver is issuing the wrong message.

It seems that the scheduler sets the mount as parked at 21:00:42.708 when the LX200 driver is still parking ('Gstat changed from 0 to 2'*).
But the LX200 driver issues the mount parked message ~25 sec later 21:01:07.119 ('Gstat changed from 2 to 5'*).
While with simulators, the driver and scheduler act as expected.

these template scripts are executed outside of Ekos, so any return value like the parking status (roof open or roof close) must be send to Ekos in some way.
In park.py, if parking is successful, the file 'indi-status' stores the value '1 0 0' ( '0 0 0' if roof open) then Ekos reads this value and so is aware of the parking status.
That's the meaning of the coordinates function.

hi Wolfgang,
the behavior is exactly the same as reported in this thread:
indilib.org/forum/ekos/10807-scheduler-w...ck-policy.html#78185
In this case it's a different mount (CEM70) so it's not likely a 10micron driver issue.
But I can build and debug the 10 micron driver if needed.

I found the same issue some time ago and reported here:
indilib.org/forum/mounts/10549-10micron-...-or-indi-driver.html
As to his answer, Wolfgang is looking into it. Hope that will be fixed in the next release.
In the meantime I added a magnetic sensor to the mount and connected it to the roof circuit so that it stops the roof if the mount is not parked.

hi Andres,
I had to configure a roof with dome scripting gateway some weeks ago and ran in similar issues.
Did you set the folder containing the scripts as relative path? try to enter the full path.
And if you have any includes in the script itself, check the paths.
Check if it's not executed as a python2 script .

Hi Wolgang,
issuing the Park command from the Mount Tab works as expected:
From Mount Tab:2021-10-16T09:07:21: [INFO] Mount is parked.
2021-10-16T09:07:21: [INFO] Gstat changed from 2 to 5
2021-10-16T09:07:13: [INFO] Gstat changed from 0 to 2
2021-10-16T09:07:12: [INFO] Parking. From parking to parked is 9 secs only because the mount was close to parking position.
With the same configuration I checked from the Scheduler:

2021-10-16T11:19:29 Scheduler started.
2021-10-16T11:19:29 Scheduler is awake.
The parking distance was the same as the previous test. But here the Parked status is immediately after the Parking command.
(the 2hrs time offset between the 2 tests is due to the mount working in UTC and Ekos using local time)
Thanks
