WeatherWatcher 1.2.2 — Independent Arduino and NOAA options

WeatherWatcher 1.2.2 separates Arduino rain protection and NOAA cloud information into independent saved options. Enable either, both, or neither according to available equipment.

• NOAA clouds and Pushover advisories work without an Arduino. NOAA requires observatory coordinates and Internet access.
• Arduino rain protection works with NOAA disabled and does not initiate NOAA requests.
• Arduino mode preserves but disables the Boltwood controls. NOAA alone leaves Boltwood rain and sky temperature available and overrides only CloudCover.
• Existing combined profiles retain both options enabled on upgrade.
• Updated README, included setup guide, and website upload files. Website files still require deployment to the live site.

Includes SafetyMonitor 1.3.1. Release builds, 231 offline checks, the AnyCPU architecture guard, and Inno Setup compilation passed. Setup-dialog rendering was inspected. Installation/upgrade and physical hardware testing were not performed.

Requires Windows 10+, ASCOM Platform 7.1+, and .NET Framework 4.8. Close NINA and other ASCOM clients before installing.

WeatherWatcher 1.2.1 Installer

WeatherWatcher 1.2.1 Inno Setup installer, bundled with SafetyMonitor 1.3.1.

Download and run CCDASTRO.WeatherWatcher-Safety.Setup-1.2.1.exe below. This replaces the older installer as the latest download.

Includes NOAA cloud information, optional Pushover advisories, rain-only Arduino/RG-11 support, required runtime dependencies, and setup documentation. Satellite cloud information and notifications do not control the safety decision.

Requires Windows 10+, ASCOM Platform 7.1+, and .NET Framework 4.8. Close NINA and all clients using either driver before installation. Follow the repository setup guide for the matching Arduino firmware and commissioning steps.

Validation: release builds succeeded; all 219 offline checks passed; SafetyMonitor AnyCPU architecture verified; Inno Setup compilation succeeded. Installation/upgrade and physical hardware qualification were not performed for this package.

WeatherWatcher Suite — RainCloud preview 2 (installer fix)

Fixes the preview 1 installation failure at Framework64 RegAsm (exit 100).

SafetyMonitor 1.3.1 is now AnyCPU, supporting registration and activation in both 32-bit and 64-bit clients. WeatherWatcher remains 1.1.0. The combined installer is version 1.1.1.

Verified: installer completed successfully on the development PC; both registration views and both COM activation/disposal tests passed. All 126 offline regression checks passed. A build-time architecture check prevents packaging an x86-only SafetyMonitor DLL again.

Close the failed installer and all ASCOM clients, then run this replacement installer. RainCloud remains optional and disabled by default. Physical Uno/sensor commissioning remains outstanding.

Superseded: RainCloud preview 1 — use preview 2

This installer has a 64-bit SafetyMonitor registration defect. Use preview 2 instead: https://github.com/CCDASTRO/WeatherWatcher2.ObservingConditions/releases/tag/v1.1.0-raincloud-preview.2
