Control and monitor your roll-off-roof observatory from any location with m1 OASYS ($1,895).

A do-it-yourself kit for any model of roll-off roof, m1 OASYS works in sync with most remote-imaging software on the market today using ASCOM-compliant drivers. It can be controlled locally or remotely with your cell phone or any Internet connection using Java applications. The system also includes a world-class home-security system that monitors up to 16 different windows, doors, or other areas for motion, fire, or other trouble. The m1 OASYS system can alert you of events via phone, text message, or e-mail.
