I have developed the first of its kind automation system that I developed for my SkyShed POD. Since its development and setup about two years ago, it has been working without any issues so far and currently there are 7 of the similar installation. The controller box can be used to automate any dome system and best of all it is a wireless system. You may see my Skyshed POD in action here [Note: this is a fully wireless system]:

Attached PDF document shows how the StarPOD Automation controller-driver system looks like. I have also included a list of hardware (options to select) if you are considering to set the StarPOD Automation system up fr Skyshed PODs. If you want to use the controller-driver system for other domes, a custom list will be provided based on dome type.
You may also view more details on the StarPOD Automation system setup guide and also more videos on the automation in operation from this link:
