You need to add the following to the bottom. ( taken from the example scripts ) you also need to exit the script in the right way to show that it completed successfully.

coordinates = open('/tmp/indi-status', 'w')
coordinates.truncate()
coordinates.write('0 0 0')
coordinates.close()
print("Fully Open")
sys.exit(0)

It could be that isn't detecting that the dust cap hasn't actually completed ? , may be, not sure.

HI,

I'm using a PC , built from bits , using a AMD Tyzen 3 1200 Quad core ~3.1GHz,16GB RAM

ASI120MM, ASI183MM,EQMod, ASIEFW,ASIEAF,GPSD,Flipflat,Script Dome,USB_dew ( most connected via a powered USB 3 HUB),SkyWatcher EQ6-R.

I used to use a Pi but it couldn't handle my 2 ASI camera's , used to just cycle the exposure time. ( it might be time to get it another go)
