I found out that trying to use the new ASIAR Rasberry PI with Star Sense and Sky Safari is not going to work.  It looks like there is duplication in that both products (Star Sense and ASIAIR) both do plate solving and assumes that I have a equatorial mount and a guide scope and camera.  I am using a ALT-Z mount using Celestron Star Sense.

I first connected to the Celestron Wifi an did a Star Sense alignment then connected to the ZWOAIR Wifi and changed the Sky Safari setting to use Synscan using port 4030 IP Address 10.0.0.1 and when I tried to slew to an object, it way was off.

Would you folks tend to agree that there is some kind of compatibility issue with this combination?

  The StarSense alignment model when using Celestron Wi-Fi is stored in SkySafari, not the mount.  There would be no way to use it from another program.  If you connected through the hand controller rather than using Wi-Fi then the model is stored in the hand controller and perhaps you could use it there.
