Regression in the scheduler: with 'weather' selected the scheduler is to wait for weather to be OK before opening the roof and starting the rest of the imaging job.
This is not what the current system does; it opens the roof and closes immediately and marks the job as aborted. (luckily it was not raining when this happened)

In Meade-TelescopeProtocol_2010-10.pdf we find

:GH# Get Daylight Savings Time Setting [Autostar II only]
Returns:
1# if daylight savings is enabled.
0# if daylight savings time is disabled.

That doc claims :GH# is an Autostar II only extension.

The :GH# does NOT exist in the 10Micron command-protocol-v2.14.11.pdf
The :GH# also does NOT exist in Meade-2002-LX200CommandSet.pdf

So we cannot enable :GH# for all Meade protocol versions and derivatives.

Circling back here: version 1.1 of the 10micron driver has a fix for the parking status communication from INDI to clients like EKOS.
- github.com/indilib/indi/issues/1582
- github.com/indilib/indi/pull/1787
It should show up automatically in the next drivers release.

Thismay warrant a chat with the device vendor (Baader).
You're using a regular terminal app, with the prescribed settings, and you see the welcome message, yet you cannot query the device.
Maybe they have ideas what to try next.

Nice ! You got farther than I had expected already in that you have the rights to open the serial port and the focuser even says 'hi'.
I assume we now need to set the proper line ending, the spec wants \r\n , that is a carriage return and a line feed. And minicom can be told to use this in the menu.
When you go to the menu with Meta-Z in Mac (CTRL-A Z in Linux) you get a menu with ao. these two lines :

Add Carriage Ret...U
Add linefeed.......A
When you press U the setting is toggled, the menu exits and you get to see a line at the bottom briefly stating
Add carriage return ON
or
Add carriage return OFF
And similar for when you press A.
You want both carriage return and linefeed ON.
Then try again with
$BS GET VERSION
