Multiple Fingerbots on Comet

Hi,

I know from the FAQ that currently only one Fingerbot can be connected to a comet. But is this limited by technical design or are there future plans to make it possible to connect multiple fingerbots? (like on the coming comet pro?)

We would like to understand the purpose of this requirement, since our KVM is designed to control only one device. Gaining deeper insight into your needs is crucial for our future planning.
Thank you for providing this information.

Hi Kyrie, thanks for your reply.

My use case is definitely a bit unusual. I operate a small remote observatory, and in addition to the remote PC, another button on the telescope always needs to be pressed. Currently, I'm using other smart solutions for this. However, since I want to switch to the Comet KVM and would like to start the associated PC with the Fingerbot, it would simply be convenient if the second necessary button could also be operated via the Comet.

For the PC, you could see if it supports Wake On LAN. I use that to power on my own systems and the Comet has a decent UI built around support. That would free the fingerbot to control the telescope. And we all know that the button is for the laser beam to shoot down the UFOs you find out there :slight_smile:
