Hello everyone,
I am trying to use INDI for controlling the Planewave Delta-T Heater, but I don't seem to get it working, I choose the correct device(I have checked by turning the heater off and looking if the device disappears).
I always get the error "Invalid Checksum". I have checked the Checksum in the logs, and it does seem to be correct. I hope anyone could help me.

I have now tried to update INDI with:

sudo apt update
and
sudo apt upgrade
, but I am not sure if it worked, so here is my log file.

Here is my log file.

I have also checked with the Planewave Software that Heater and Focusser are working, so the problem is on the INDI/Linux Side

I have just installed INDI and wanted to connect to the devices, but I'm not able to connect to the Planewave EFA and the Planewave Delta-T Heater. I always get the error "Invalid Checksum". Could anyone help me?

Hello Antonio,
Thank you very much for your response. I would really appreciate it if you could push the code to a Github Repository, that would be great. And also thanks for the tipp with the PHD2-Server, that could be really useful.

I would say your first suggestion is better, If you install INDI Web Manager, you can start INDI without using things like VNC or SSH. You also can use the INDI Watchdog Device (www.indilib.org/aux/watchdog.html), which wouldn't be possible if you use VNC(It would be pssible but useless). So in my opinion, install INDI on the remote computer and connect to it from you local computer via Kstars/Ekos. That's at least what I think, if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Thank you for the tip, I think I will use the Dome Scripting Gateway, the roof will be controlled by a Siemens LOGO, so I think it's easier to implement that with Python. For restarting the devices, the company Baader installed a remote Switching Device(www.gude.info/monitoring/remote-io/exper...-control-2302-1.html), but I haven't figured out how to use it with INDI, it has a HTTP Interface(wiki.gude.info/EPC_HTTP_Interface), so it probably could be done but I haven't figured out how yet.

Thanks for your reply, the equipment will be located about 40 Minutes away from my home, so it will be easy to reach, but not quite as easy as backyard. The equipment is also not owned by me, it is owned by a Student Science Center in Lörrach, Germany, but I help with the computer stuff. The observatory is half remote already, but there are a few things missing, like a proper control for the roll-off roof(We are working on that) or motorized covers for the telescopes. The main thing missing was proper software to control everything, at the moment it is managed by a mess of programs on Windows, but I think I found the proper software with INDI/Ekos.

Hello everyone,
I want to use INDI/Ekos for a remote(maybe automatic) Observatory. The devices used will be a 10 Micron GM 3000 HPS with a Planewave CDK 17" and a TEC APO140ED. The Planewave has a Planewave Focuser and a Delta-T Heater. We have many ZWO Cameras to use. I just wanted to know if you have any tips, or if I should just go for it and install INDI.
