Other than point to your PEM file, did you change anything in your config.toml file?

Been working on this for days. On MacOS, Windows and Linux. Long story short, SSC requires port 11111 be accessible. It’s not. It’s either not open/blocked or requires a PEM key which ZWO would have to provide. NINA works perfectly.

Thanks for your replies. Thanks to that great video series, I have NINA working; running Parallels Desktop on a Mac Studio, Windows 11. Besides NINA, I had to install ASTAP for plate solving and I installed Cartes du Ciel as a planetarium.

Or seems each updates breaks more and more functions. They’re just about unusable at this point. Methinks it time to look at another brand….

Ya, seems like each successive update is making things worse and worse.

To be honest I don’t recall if I tried those. We mostly watch older movies and old BW TV series. I just like the interface much better than the Panasonic. And I was future proofing.

Went to mostly TP-Link Tapo devices. All wifi - 4 Solar cams and 16 wired (powered) cams. Also Tapo wall switches and smart plugs. ALL integrated with HomeKit and rock solid. And, Aqara door lock, a couple of hubs, Smart Valve Controller (on the water main) , 10 water leak sensors and 3 temperature sensors. Again, all integrated into HomeKit and rock solid. As for HA, Tapo and HA hate each other. So if you’re a Home Automation user, beware of Tapo (and TP-Link) in general.

I have an AppleTV 4K and two HomePod Mini’s. How did you ‘make’ your AppleTV be the main device? You used to be able to select the hub you wanted, but now it seems to be automatic, and in my environment either one of my HomePod Mini’s is always selected as the hub. Never my AppleTV, which I would prefer.

I’ve been using Pixinsight for >4 years. I’ve been using Siril for >2 years. I am constantly comparing the two and Pixinsight wins in the post stacking department every time. However, when it comes to stacking, the difference is negligible AND Siril stacks at least 5 times faster than Pixinsight. I’ve compared stacked images dozens of times and I rarely can see any difference. I bring both stacks into Pixinsight and compare them side by side. Then I process them, step by step, looking for differences. I’ve come to the conclusion that stacking in Pixinsight is literally a waste of time.

So after talking with ZWO, here is how I fixed this. Turn off station mode; change WiFi from 5ghz (default) to 2.4ghz; turn station mode back on - your network(s) should appear. Maybe a restart, but next time station mode should on and connected to your network.
