Hello everybody! I have started integrating capabilities in indi-allsky to natively support reading sensors on SBC systems like Raspberry Pi. Currently, I have support for 14 different temperature and light sensors. The sensor data is made available for the Image Overlays and MQTT subsystem.

In addition, I have added support for natively controlling dew heaters. I am targeting standard dew heaters where the dew heater may be either on or off and PWM controlled dew heaters with variable settings. The dew heater may also be controlled with the sensor readings (above).

And finally, I also have native support for using a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor as a focuser for an all sky camera. When activated, an interface in the Focuser web view will allow you to move the stepper motor in different increments for focusing.
