This video looks at individual DC power supplies for the different pieces of equipment, such as the hubs, mounts and cameras. By integrating with the Sonoff unit and Google Home, it gives me control via phone app or via the Home Mini in the observatory via voice.
Have individual channel controls allows me to also power cycle equipment remotely if something is not behaving itself.
Setting up routines in the Home Assistant also allows a sequence of devices to be brought online e.g. start the USB hub, wait a second or two and then start the mount and camera.
The controllers I used in this build were the Sonoff 4ChPro, which are wifi controlled and can link with Google Home and Alexa.
