My mounts have the option to connect over BT.
Would be an improvement if you could integrate BT as option for connecting a mount to Asiair.
BT connection to mount.
Team-Deepflights If you own AM5N and AM3, it supports on 2600 AIR, for other BT mounts, may i know what is the model of yours? i will forward to our team, thanks

If you're asking to add in connecting via Bluetooth for existing ASIAIR Pro/Plus (32GB and 256GB) models then I don't think that's possible because they don't come with a Bluetooth module (as far as I know).

Raspberry PI4 (Asiair Pro) have an integrated BT module.
For Plus I am not sure at all.

Team-Deepflights not necessarily.
There are Raspberry Pi 4 boards produced for corporations for different needs.
Here's a video that does a tear down of the ASIAIR v1, the ASIAIR Pro and the ASIAIR Plus (32GB).

FYI: the ASIAIR Plus 32GB is newer than the ASIAIR Pro. The ASIAIR Plus 256GB is newer than the ASIAIR Plus 32GB and is based on a different board.
Team-Deepflights Well you have your answer now. No Bluetooth modules in the ASIAIR Pro or Plus models.

My understanding is that CM4 wifi module also includes Bluetooth built-in. So if this is true then ZWO must have ordered custom CM4 modules without Bluetooth. I didn't know that was possible.
The Bluetooth can be disabled but pulling a pin low on the CM4 connector or by disabling it with dtoverlay options. Looks like it is disabled in the config.txt file ..

Are you still planning to look into bluetooth supports for non-ZWO mounts?
If the ASI2600MC Air is able to support connection to Onstep mounts via bluetooth, I would probably buy one for my 'portable' setup.
I'm sure it's possible for Zwo to make a small Bluetooth USB dongle to connect to the AM5N, actually they should make it wifi+BT so we don't have to use the ridiculous hand controller just to have wifi connection.
