Using CustomImages with the Python framework

[Dnpwwo]

The next beta will have functionality to allow developers to add custom images to plugins.

Have a look at the documentation here: http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Developing ... gin#Images if you are interested

Basically, standard Domoticz custom images zips can be loaded from the plugin's home folder and the framework makes the actual image number available to the plugin so that it can be set using the existing Device.Update() function.

The example on the wiki shows how to give users the choice of three images via the hardware page but the image can be set for any reason: linked to device state or device value (like the standard weather devices)

Great job

Yeah, great addition!

I was already thinking how to dynamically change icons. Ideally generating a small picture with a course graph or symbol with the python plugin and show it on the fly. This is a useful step towards that idea.

I tried to use the function in the Sonos Plugin. Works on my Pi but another user got the following error:

Here is my implementation:

Any idea what might be causing this?

@tester22,

I've used it on Windows and Linux and it seemed fine so platform shouldn't be an issue.

Can you request a log with debug turned on? May add logging around the Images based lines?
