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.
