Hi,

I'm looking to use the temperature and dewpoint values from my PPBAdvance to trigger a heater in my observatory. The heater aids in keeping the temperature just above the dewpoint, but there is no reason to keep it going if the temperature is already high enough. For this to work, it would be very helpful to be able to automatically start the unity server when the PC boots - i.e. as a service. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,
Christian

I still think this would be a nice feature to have natively supported by the unity platform, but for others who might need this as well, this is the work-around I'm now using:

• Using the software product "FireDaemon Pro" (no, I have nothing to do with them!) I can now start peg.server.exe as a service when the PC boots

• When first calling the /server/start endpoint, it takes a little while for it to actually be ready, so don't hit the API immediately after that call. I simply inserted a 2 second wait statement after the /server/start call, and that seems to do the trick

Is FireDaemon Pro software easy to use, bro?
