Tech@ZWO I distinctly remember hearing the the same last year regarding the rotator(Actually, I don't think it was even "this year", it was "expected to release in second half of 2023"). And, likewise in early 2022, when I suggested third party rotator support to your customer service - they came back to inform me that you expect to have something on the market by the end of the year.
So excuse me for not holding my breath about the rotator coming this year.
You can't even implement DST support into asiair software despite years of requests, forcing me and thousands of others to mess with my phone's time settings every time I want to image(and then, not forget to reset it back how it's supposed to be after the imaging session, to avoid silly stuff like coming in to work at the wrong hour - been there, done that.). I get that China doesn't use DST, but most of the world and thus, your customers - does.
You should really just enable generic rotator support(It's all just ASCOM after all) instead of insisting that the ZWO branded rotator is coming soon, "for real this time" for literal years and keeping us hanging. We WANT to give you money, and we understand you want to maximize profits by keeping a tight, self-contained ecosystem of exclusivity. But if you don't actually offer a viable alternative, consider allowing third party support.
It's only fair.
