When we could have a Pentax compatibility for Remote?

Only Canon and Nikon cameras are supported, and it's not going to change any time soon:

Helicon Remote does not support cameras of other brands because they are not compatible with the required remote control protocol or do not have the relevant features (e.g. Live View, focus adjustment etc.).

Just wanted to point out that meanwhile there is a sdk for tethering Pentax cameras.
Linux, Windows, MacOS inclucing sample App.

From the Ricoh website:

RICOH Camera USB SDK enables your app to operate cameras. This page shows how to use SDK packages and a sample app, which comes with the SDK. Note that code examples in this document is written in C++11. ...

Supported Cameras
PENTAX K-1 Mark II
PENTAX KP
PENTAX K-1
PENTAX 645Z

Thank you, this is interesting. Although I've scrolled through the documentation and didn't see a way to control the focus position manually as required for focus bracketing.
