Hello everyone!
I would like to know if I can use the StellaVita as a hub for N.I.N.A. within my home network.
After all, the StellaVita is nothing more than a Raspberry Pi.
It should be possible to connect the StellaVita to my home network via the Ethernet port and use the hardware with N.I.N.A. on my desktop computer, right?
Best Regards
Vyte

Hi Dunk, I don't know stellavita but if you are looking for a remote operation of your setup within your home, the most common configuration is a minipc installed on your setup, like mele quieter or equivalent, where everything stays like a standard pc, the only cable getting out being the power supply and the minipc is controlled with over a direct wifi or over the lan with remote desktop, or equivalent. I have two of these configurations and it works quite well. Of course you have proprietary system like primaluce eagle, asiair, ... but they can control only the same brand equipment.

Hi Dunk, as a complementary comment, if you plan to use an equipment as a remote usb hub connected to your pc remotely, I suspect that you will have much more issues regarding performance as you are adding a full network stack between your pc running Nina staying at home and this "hub" connected through the network. What about ASCOM drivers and so on. This would be a risky path and you would have almost nobody able to help you.

Frédéric. I replied to the OP. I'm not looking for anything!

Sorry Dunk for the mistake, Hi Vyte I found a very interesting thread on CN describing in details the various configuration for remote operation for EAA, one of them using Ascom Alpaca that could be an answer to your question ("remote drivers")

My understanding is that Primaluce Eagles use Windows Enterprise. They can control any equipment that you would be able to control with proper dirvers downloaded through any other PC. A connection can be made through Windows Remote Desktop via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. ASIAir should work with non-ASI ZWO mounts, but will not support non-ZWO cameras and accessories.

If you find a way to get this done, I'd love to learn about it. But as far as I can see this does not work. Stellavita is an INDI based system, running on Linux. NINA is an ASCOM based system. Traditionally these are two very different worlds. I'm using both.
You can run ASCOM devices via Alpaca on a Linux platform, so in theory you could use NINA on your desktop to run hardware from the Stellavista (if Stellavista allows that), but then you might as well use a regular RPi.
What is it that you are trying to achieve?

Hello everyone, and thank you for your feedback.
I've read all your comments and now I'm a little wiser myself.
I was also now been able to test my new equipment thoroughly and am now giving you my feedback.
First of all, I'd like to say that the StellaVita version 1.1.26 works wonderfully and is even capable of powering my EQ6i Pro flawlessly via the 12V output. This means that just a 12V with a 5A input is sufficient to power the ATR585m and Mount. Awesome!
My goal for home use was to connect the StellaVita to my home network so that I could remotely operate all the components connected to the StellaVita with N.I.N.A on my home computer.
Should this be technically possible? Absolutely! Have I succeeded so far? Unfortunately not.
Since I've worked in IT myself, StellaVita should be able to communicate with my computer, whether Linux or Windows. It's therefore just a matter of Software. I know that many of you use a mini PC including a power supply, for example, with a Pegasus Power Station. But I consider this to be far too much cable management and completely over the top.
I will therefore try to tamper with the StellaVita's USB-C port and access the operating system via special software, which will then connect it to my PC.
If I succeed, the rest will be very easy, and the StellaVita can serve not only as a hub but also as a power station like the Pegasus.
I will give you feedback as soon as possible if I succeed. I've already done the same with the ZWO AsiAir. I'll dig up the instructions for you when I get a chance. But you do need some Linux knowledge, that much in advance.

Here is also a nice Link for ZWO AsiAir users: ASIAIR + OpenAstro 2.0 & ASCOM |

But you do need some Linux knowledge, that much in advance. You can access your hardware in NINA via alpaca drivers. I don't remember how to expose alpaca-indi drivers in Linux, but I would expect it to be possible. Does StellaVita come with a full Kstars/Ekos/INDI installation? Try firing that up and looking at indi configurations for your gear.

If you have a Mac or a Macbook (AppleSilicon) you are able to install the iPhone-App for Stellavita directly in your MacOS and control your equipment over LAN or WLAN.
The StellaVita App does not recognise automaticly the IP-address from the device over LAN. You have to find the IP that your router assigned to it and type it into the App on your desktop.
Maybe it also would work in Windows with Bluestacks and the Android-app for StellaVita.
