DragonFly v2.0 observatory control box

Setting up the remote control system of your observatory requires quite a bit of
effort – our Dragonfly has been designed to help make it easier.
The Dragonfly is a very powerful and versatile device. Every effort has been made
to make it simple to use, yet allowing for full customization. Setting it up to
remotely control our observatory can be accomplished with little effort, yet you
can go as deep as you want and have it performing incredibly complex tasks if
needed.

Top 6 reasons to get a Dragonfly:

1. Smart: can perform operations by itself (for example, email you or push message, reboot the router if no internet, WOL, etc…)
2. Smartphones support: custom control app
3. Universal: with ZeroConf, access it from anywhere – no configuration required
4. Versatile: roof open and close operations can be customized. Actions can be launched when a sensor or relay changes.
5. Secure: password protection available (3 levels)
6. Supported: complete ASCOM and INDIGO and INDIlib roof and switch drivers

DRAGONFLY includes:

• 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.
