Stellarium Mobile Plus for Android (paid app, includes telescope control features) shows "Time: incorrect" in red when connected to OnStepX over Bluetooth even if automatic time sync is enabled in the app. App logs have a hint for a root cause: ... #:SC08/15/26# => TRX timeout Warning, started command with RX buffer not empty discarding RX buffer content: 49 Could not set telescope time ... By trial and error I found that Stellarium waits for '#' after '1'. Probably this is for interoperability with other implementations of LX200 that send '#'-terminated strings after '1' on success. The fix is to simply send '1' as a string response in a case of a successful change of date. I tested this with: * Stellarium Mobile Plus (obviously) * SmartWebServer Note that in a case of a daylight saving time and if time was previously set by Stellarium Mobile Plus, it shows wrong UTC Offset (off by one) but correct UT and LST. Seems the only problem here is that UTC Offset needs to be changed manually to be able to set new correct date/time from the web interface. * SmartHandController * INDIGO 3 Fixes: https://onstep.groups.io/g/main/topic/100216132
