Great video! Just FYI, I added Fail to Pushover as a global trigger and the last thing in my sequence was a filter change which I made fail intentionally. There was no instruction after that but the trigger still sent me a message. I'm not sure if this is an update to NINA or not (2.0 BETA010) Also, it looks like IFTTT is giving 5 applets now for the free account.

There had been some discussion about how and when triggers would be processed, so maybe this has made it into the code towards the end of the nightly‘s or into the beta. Good catch!

Hey Chad thanks for all the help. You convinced me to start using the new sequencer and it's working out great. One question though. Where in a real sequence do you drop in wait for time span. Not sure where to put it. Cuiv gave you a great shout out in his latest video. Thanks for the help and for the great videos!

Hey Chad thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I put the push to failure function in the trigger and was wondering where the best place was to add time to span where I would get a notification of something going wrong with the sequence during the night. It's getting a little chilly down here in Arizona in the high desert to be sitting out here with the rig. Again thanks so much for all your videos helping out all us aspiring astrophotographers

@@davidharutunian3256 I dont think you really need to add a wait instruction. If something fails, it will notify you based on your groundstation command, then you will need to address it. If you add a wait, say in a loop of images, you will have to wait every time that instruction is called every item it is looped. There isn't really a way to link a failure to a wait time. The only exception to this rule is if you have an ASCOM Safety Monitor Device, but that would normally not be for failures but instead clouds or rain.

@@mdaugher1811 Yes and No. :) You have 2 methods with GroundStation: 1. On Failure, and 2. Send Message. If you are using the Failure Trigger, you will get a message if there was a failure. As that relates to a Meridian Flip, it could just be a "Slew Failure" or something like that - the real reason for the Flip failing (but it may not state specifically that it was a meridian flip failure). Since the Meridian Flip itself is a Trigger, you can't really insert a Send Message instruction after it. Keep watching and updating NINA and the GroundStation plugin though, they are both getting new functionality added quite frequently, even since this video was published.

Thanks for the great video. Is it possible to get any detailed information about the instructions or trigger just executed? Like I would like to send me hfr, rms, stars etc, after each image captured, and maybe notify me when there is refocus triggered, and the reason for the triggering.

This plugin only reports on failures/errors, or with a custom message, but not with that information. The Lightbucket plugin may be better suited for some of this, especially as it relates to images specifically. Take a look at that plugin (and my video on the topic). You may want to reach out to the developer of the plugin with suggestions. I know that some of what you mentioned is there, or is possible, and may already be in development.

Been staring at this comment for a while… :-) Trying to figure out how to best address it for everyone. What’s likely, is that I’ll do a quick update video on the plug-in since several things have changed. I covered it very very early on right after it’s release, and it could do with an update. It may take a little bit for me to get it done, but I will. I don’t have any feedback yet, because I haven’t done the telegram integration, it looks pretty straightforward, but those are famous last words. I’ll try to get something out soon.

Thanks for the reply. It wasn’t available on 2.10, but I updated to 2.45 today and it was there with several others. Thanks again and if you know of a home weather station that will communicate with NINA and put my weather data into the FITS header that would be great. I already use the weather data from open weather map that populates the FITS. Thanks again! Rex

Not sure that will help you. I think you would be better served by an external weather app on your computer or phone that can issue rain/weather warnings. If you wanted to automate stuff in NINA based on weather issues, you could possibly use an ASCOM integrated safety monitor that had weather sensors attached - but that would automate something like a dome enclosure, etc.
