Greetings and happy new year to all! While I am waiting for the Nexdome to arrive after 4 months, I thought I would try to figure out how to install RG-11 and Couldwatcher to be controlled by NINA. Then I thought that couldwatcher could work stand alone or connected with Beaver if the "CCW/up and CW/down terminals on the Beaver board are for the cloudwatcher (After all, both Beaver and Couldwatcher are sold by Lunatico Astro.). Does anybody know if those terminals are for the couldwatcher? If so, has anybody tried controlling the cloudwatcher and RG-11 through the Beaver? Much appreciate your feedback.

CCW/up and CW/down mean Counter ClockWise (or up) and ClockWize (or down) ... these are for the button(s) to move the dome manually (aka without a computer), nothing to do with the Cloudwatcher (and the up/down for shutter as the board is the same, just configured differently).
The RG-11 connects to a special input on the beaver to trigger a close if rain is detected.
There is no extra input to connect the Cloudwatcher signal for close (you could connect it in place of the RG-11 if you prefer the Cloudwatcher hard link for a close).
