SUMMARY A click at "Tracking: OFF" in the mount TAB actually stops tracking but all indicators show the mount was continuing tracking. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Losmandy Driver 2. Start Ekos 3. In Mount TAB click tracking: OFF OBSERVED RESULT tracking stops but: - mount control window shows "Status: Tracking" - mount TAB shows "Tracking" and Tracking ON button/indicator remains red. - setup TAB shows "Mount: Tracking" EXPECTED RESULT mount control window should show Status: Idle mount TAB should show "Idle" and OFF button should be red. setup TAB should show "Mount: Idle" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION KStars compiled from GIT. With simulators, indicators work correctly when tracking is stopped.
It appears that stop tracking simply calls sleepMount() which issues ":hN#" command. What's the latest command set for this mount?
The ":hN#" command is correct and the mount stops tracking as expected. However, all indicators in the GUI pretend the mount was still tracking. http://www.company7.com/library/losmandy/GemL4SerialIntCommand.html provides a list of serial commands. I doubt it's the latest version though.
Right that's not latest version. Please try to find and I will look for it as well.

The Gemini command set has nothing to do with it IMO. The command issued is the correct one and does work as expected. The mount starts/stops tracking when being told so. Ekos just doesn't reflect the actual tracking state correctly.
This is not actually a KStars issue, but an INDI issue.
Good to see a long standing issue finally resolved.
