Lunatico Astronomia Dragonfly v. 2.0 Observatory controller
Dragonfly, The Lunatico device to remotely control your roll-off roof observatory, also from your mobile or tablet!
With the new software version, including:
- Relay restrictions (do not close relay if…)
- Roof control from the main panel
- Improved log window
- New DragonflyConfigurator software to manage the internal settings
- New macros, actions the Dragonfly can perform autonomously, very powerful (internet connectivity testing, email / push message sending, wake on lan, relay open / close, sensor checks, etc.)
- Internal clock, with timezone support (useful for macros)
- 3 level password protection
- improved ZeroConf connections
- Log automatically recorded to disk, including any relay activity
… and of course some internal improvements and fixes.
The new hardware addresses some network problems, found mostly at shared observatories with a lot of network activity, and improved relay protection in case of power supply noise.
Top 6 reasons to get a Dragonfly:
- Smart: can perform operations by itself (for example, send you an email or push message, reboot the router if no internet, WOL, etc…)
- Smartphones support: custom control app
- Universal: with ZeroConf, access it from anywhere – no configuration required
- Versatile: roof open and close operations can be customized. Actions can be launched when a sensor or relay changes.
- Secure: password protection available (3 levels)
- Supported: complete ASCOM and INDIGO and INDIlib roof and switch drivers
With the Dragonfly you can:
- switch on and off lights and equipment
- open and close the observatory roof
- control 8 relays (4 of them double NO/NC, and 4 NO)
- monitor the AAG Cloudwatcher and check for safe or unsafe weather conditions
- monitor, using magnet or mechanical sensors the mount’s position, the status of the roof…
- ZeroConfiguration network system
- ASCOM switch & dome interfaces
- Improved internal web server:
- simple page to manage the relays and sensors,
- javascript for web page integration
… ASCOM support is available, and also INDIGO and INDIlib. And with a free application for mobiles and tablets.
