Thanks both.
I have a series of questions but will deal with them one at a time to help reduce confusion. Further, please note that I know very little about this system, in part because of the woefully limited documentation that ZWO provides, so may have some completely false assumptions and preconceptions.
First concerns set-up. I thought that the S50 would use Bluetooth to communicate with an Android phone. At initialization time the S50 states “Need bluetooth access to search Seestar nearby” and it is necessary to set the phone’s Wifi connection to the 10.0.0.0/8 local network created by the S50. Connection then proceeds satisfactorily but, of course, the phone no longer has access to the internet — seriously crippling other important features.
I have tried everything I can think of to configure the phone to allow the use of Bluetooth, without success. The phone will happily pair with other devices, such as a laptop so much is clearly working.
Any suggestions? If it helps, the Seestar firmware is V2.95
