Hi. I have realized that if I connect the focuser using the windows application I can't connect simultaneously from other application as NINA. This happens as well with the mount, for example. To avoid conflicts of different applications taking to the same hardware at the same time there is Devicehub in the ascom platform. I have been able to select myfocuserpro in devicehub as the focuser, and NINA connects to it, but there is no way for the windows application of the focuser to connect through devicehub, I think... Is there any way? It would be useful because other programs dont allow to control so many parameters of the focuser as the windows app, so at some point it might be useful to have both connected to the focuser at the same time. Is it possible.

Another nice possibility that it would open is to control the focuser from a gamepad. I have a bluetooth mini gamepad and I can control the mount from it using the ascom gamepad option. In principle that extension of ascom would allow to control the focuser as well. Has anyone tried it?

Once more, thanks for an excellent project. I have already built 3, for myself and a couple of friends.
Cheers
