Add custom icons from pyhton plugin

Hi, 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: if 'girl' not in Images: Domoticz.Image( Filename='girl_icons.zip' ).Create ...

Custom Image for text devices or custom text for contact switches

Hi, I'm developping a plugin using the Python API. I tried to create contact switch devices but when I update their numerical values and string values of the devices the string values are ignored and only Open or Close is displayed. For example : Devices[ idx ].Update( nValue = 1, sValue="custom ...

Re: Opening/Closing Venetian Blinds with dzVents

I can contribute through Github and using a pull request but I'm not sure this should be done in these functions or elsewhere in a more generic function or using an array of specific devices with a callback.

That's why I think domoticz dev will do it in much more cleaner way.

Re: Opening/Closing Venetian Blinds with dzVents

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 ...

[SOLVED] Opening/Closing Venetian Blinds with dzVents

Hi all, I'm developping a small dzVents script to automate my venetian blinds. In domoticz v4.10717, if I want to open a blind I have issue a Off command and a On command if I want to close it. So with dzVents if I call domoticz.devices( 'blind' ).switchOn() it closes the blind and domoticz.devices ...
