Rain Sensor

Hi, I have a dome and these days, lots of bad weather in Autumn, Winter and Spring. So I’m about to program in a rain sensor function into my dome software. It would be very easy to do, but closing the shutter when rain starts is a bit of a blunt way to approach it. e.g. it leaves SGP trying to recover etc.

So I thought I’d ask if SGP is able to interface with a rain sensor which provides logic 0/ 1.

I looked in the help file but didn’t turn up anything from a search on ‘rain’.
thanks

You’re looking for a Safety Monitor. And yes…if you create an ASCOM driver for that device and enable the Restart on Safe behavior in SGP you can use that to make SGP shutdown your sequence and then restart when conditions get better.
