Remote Shack with Expert Remote 

'all-in-one-place' practical setup guide
Expert Remote functionality upgrades (under active development)

Expert Remote was built with the thinking of future. Adding the fucntionality of the:
  • AC/DC remote power management capability (to control "power restart/reset" of the conectdd shack devices)
  • Rotator/Antennas remote controls (including common rotators and antenna switches)
  • third party PA and ATU remote operations
  • Skimmer Network
    - and more - all those just a matter of time and things are moving quickly now, with full ready and operational Expert Remote ecosystem.

    As usual, many things depend on 3rd party vendors willing to adopt TCI. Those who will - have advantage, as their systems will have natural integration into Expert Remote. Those who will not ... well ... but do not worry, the emulators and workarounds are always available.

    The current (in progress) Proof of Concept phase of the Expert Remote add-ons is displayed in the following diagram:

    Yes, that is right, we are talking about wast functionality expansion with live (remotely operated) demos and lot of options of the 3rd party equipment integration.

    Is this EE official? No, not yet. This information should be seen as "development inside" at this stage: it is closed test/dev community initiative, which was put forward to EE. And it is in active discussion now what parts of it EE will embed (and oficially support) and what will rely on 3rd party developers to enable.

    When we going to see it full alive? Soon. The most fundamental part - Expert Remote - is online. And add-ons: some things already close-tested, some are in "POC build progress", some are just have the concept. Here below are links to two projects, which are extending Expert Remote functionality:

    Expert Remote Power Management
    Yaesu Rotators control for Expert Remote
    Current status on both projects
    Both projects passed final closed test phase. Currently pending production data (i.e. assembly cost, shipping, lead time, etc) and finalizing Expert Remote integration.
    Important
    In nearest 1-2 weeks we are performing intensive testing of rotators functionality. Seeking volunteers who have necessary rotator models and willing to spend their time for testing and polishing feature set.

    What you will get:
  • Absolutely minimal (less developer) price of the Remote Power Management manually assembled board. Practically you will parts + shipment + minimal handling. After all testing completed - the device is yours.
    .
    What is required from you in exchange:
  • Willing to participate in intensive testing, provide quality reports on missing functionality, bugs or unexpected device's operations
  • Either have remote shack, which can be accessed quickly (not 1000km away), or have proper remote shack full simulation setup.
  • Tester 1: to have Yaesu G-800DXA, G-1000DXA, G-2800DXA
  • Tester 2: to have Yaesu G-800S, G-1000S, G-800SDX, G-1000SDX

    Please contact me directly if interested.

    This Expert Remote expansion also opens an opportunity for the 3rd party developers, who wish to create own components options and get them officially supported; if you are one of those developers - you are advised to contact EE directly to express the interest.
