Presenting imaging and equipment status with REST for consumption by other applications

[Kumar Challa]

Hello!

I am wondering if it is possible request a feature to expose imaging information over REST API as JSON from within NINA. I have looked at using Ground Station for this but I have not found a way to do this through it.

Example Use case:

The following data is available and can be ingested by for example, Home Assistant to provide a dashboard for image progress status. Or this can be ingested into a time series databaseto be visualized by Grafana etc.

• Target (Name, coordinates, time remaining above horizon etc.)
• Image type (light/fllat/darkflat etc.)
• Exposure details (duration, gain etc.)
• Sequence details (Current imaging parameters, remaining time on target etc.)

• Equipment status

  • Focuser position
  • Mount: Park/Home position

Basically what this project is aiming to do but from within NINA itself.
