Dew heater

[woolfgm]

Hi

I have a dew heater installed when I purchased an enclosure from the allsky shop

I have read the documentation about how to write a script to get the dew heater On/OFF buttons on to the system page of Allsky settings but I cant get it to work

Does anyone have an example of a working script that I could use ?

Also is there a script that will allow for automatic switching of the dew heater when necessary

Many thanks

Have a look at the allsky-modules https://github.com/AllskyTeam/allsky-modules

There is a module for controlling a dew heater

Hi Alex-developer

I did load that module to try but as far as I could see there is no indication as to whether its working or not - unless I missed something

It would be good if it could place an indicator on the system page

As per all modules they provide data in a different way than the system page. Have a look at the module and overlay documentation. The dew heater module will create a load of fields you can use on the overlay manager to display the status of the heater
