How to connect the iOptron HEM27 to ASIAIR?

sfoo

Although I am able to use the work around method via WiFi station mode to control the HEM27 from ASIAIR, can you add a new driver to support this mount (via USB wire connection) in the next firmware upgrade for the reason of better stable connection? Thanks in advance.

I use the setting CEM70 Serial Baud 115200. This works with the USB cable from the hand control unit of the HEM27 to the ASIAir. i.e. without station mode.

Thanks, it does work. Good news, the new firmware had added HEM27 support.

I can't get the firmware to work? how are you connecting the ASIAIR to the mount. There are now two wifi access points showing up: the nova hand controller and asiair. which do you use? tnx fort any ideas.
I also dont understand the image above? under the mount selection, three different selections for drivers are shown? What does that mean? tnx for any help.

The connection is made with an USB cable from the hand control unit of the HEM27 to the ASIAir, i.e. there is no wifi involved.
Sometimes another USB cable will help.
The image in the post above shows the proper selection for the mount in the ASIAir app, namely CEM26/GEM28/HEM27.
Apparently these three mounts use the same setting.

Is there a way to connect the HEM27 to ASIair Pro or Plus without a USB cable via WiFi? I have tried the station mode but it seems very sluggish and unresponsive. My mount is controllable via 10.10.100.254 on port 8899.
