Power switching is provided via an APC SNMP enabled PDU, https://www.amazon.com/APC-AP7900-Switched-Surge-Protector/dp/B0000AAAYH

I relied on https://tobinsramblings.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/snmp-tutorial-apc-pdus/ on setting up snmp to be able to power on/off ports.

Roof control is handled by http://interactiveastronomy.com/skyroof.html

imaging automation is handled by http://ccdware.com/products/ccdap5/ and/or ccd commander http://ccdcommander.com/
