CyberLogix Innovations Astrolabe Software Plugin for HS4

Astrolabe

Astrolabe gives HomeSeer a detailed awareness of the sky, computing the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, constellations, twilight, eclipses, occultations, meteor showers, ISS passes and observing conditions. Automation-friendly values are exposed through HomeSeer devices, while core positions are computed locally from JPL DE440 with IAU 2006/2000A handling and IERS Earth-orientation support. More than 600 automated checks validate the engine. Try the same astronomy at astrolabe.cyberlogix.net.
