A question for those of you with remote observatories.
How does you automation work? As in how do you switch computers and lights on and off and how are you operating your roof?
Am I right in saying you are using some form of USB controlled relay?
Something like this?..

So far I’ve got a my obs equipment including focus controlled via computer.
A small router in obs running a wired network back to house.
Webcam also running back to house so I can ‘see’ what’s happening.
I have control of my obs equipment via teamviewer from house computer.
Shed roof is electrically controlled.
So what’s the next step?
How do I organise remote turn on/turn off/roof closing???
