Joel I bought a star sense but have yet to use it with my AZEQ6 (Weather/fires).

The interface box looks suspiciously like a 4-port wired router of some sort connecting mount, camera and the StarSense handset.

The manual that came with it is quite detailed and it does make quite clear the handset is responsible for the software functions to align and control the scope - it cannot be done using a PC. The handset replaces the SynScan handset.

In retrospect I think it’s a bit pointless because buried in the Synscan manual is a section which describes how to accurately align the mount within minutes of arc that should be quite quick - and probably quicker than the StarSense. And it would be just as relevant to any EQ mount with a synscan handset.
