Hi.
I tried to install with QHY5 but got this error:

If you are willing to be a tester for me I can make sure QHY cameras work correctly. Every vendor can use slightly different property names for things like gain. I just do not have a QHY camera to test with.

I just need the output of indi_getprop with the camera connected and indiserver running.

Also, can you send the contents of your config.json file?

[aaronwmorris]

I managed to get my hands on a used QHY camera to test and it happens to be the same model QHY5LII-M. I have updated the code to support QHY cameras.

There is also an example config file in the examples/ folder for the QHY5LII-M.

QHY support is merged. Closing this issue.
