Yes, the OnStep firmware used here has drivers for ASCOM and Indi, which are communications protocols commonly used by most astronomy software on Windows and Linux. It also speaks the older Meade LX200 serial protocol, which is another common method.

For example, Stellarium on your phone can connect to the mount’s wifi station and control it.
