I've been trying to add custom icons for a plugin as described in the wiki page https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Developing_a_Python_plugin#Images but it doesn't work as expected.

Here's my code in the onStart callback:

Here a quick fix on how open() and close() could be implemented.
I know there's a better and cleaner way too improve open() and close() but I don't know the internals of the dzVents engine cause this quick fix works for my use case which uses generic Venetian blinds but domoticz developpers could ...

I understand your point of view and you're right but it doesn't mean dzVent can't be improved because people already wrote plugins.
I think my request is not incompatible with your point of view.

device.open() and device.close() are high level functions that should not only issue simple On or Off ...

Hi all,

I'm developping a small dzVents script to automate my venetian blinds.

So with dzVents if I call domoticz.devices( 'blind' ).switchOn() it closes the blind and domoticz ...
