I'm not sure what the home switch is, but the mount has a concept of a zero position. Part of the calibration process for the encoders includes it searching for the zero position. In normal usage, you can tell it to go to the zero position and then the relative encoders work from that (AFAIK). Perfectly usable for remote setup.

Yes that is what I was referring to. Software Bisque and AP call it a home switch but its a reference point that aligns the scope so its ready to do go -tos.
