<br>
It's a bug. Of the biggest class possible because it endangers the equipment.<br>
You did not mention your roof or dome, assuming you have one. Was that closed ?<br>
<br>
I said it's a bug but I fear that it's a tad bigger than that. I think error<br>
state handling in many of these 'edge cases' is just missing as we're still<br>
quite occupied with getting the various happy paths working right.<br>
This is not intended as negative criticism, I just want to flag it.<br>
<br>
As a stop-gap attempt I wrote ekos-sentinel that should park mounts and close<br>
roofs when weather conditions or other alarms flag an unsafe situation. It's<br>
not perfect either (and I have not tested it with latest ekos version) but it<br>
has helped me several times in the past.<br>
