Hi there - this is probably a simple question but I'm not seeing the answer in the docs - I've written a client for the Raspberry Pi that shows the current object being pointed at, RA/DEC, localtime/UT, and IP for a telescope connected to the Pi . The Pi has a 320x480 touchscreen display. It will sit in the secondary cage of my new 16" project and eventually allow me to set up object tours and so on from the touchscreen, as well as obviously allowing control of the scope through remote INDI clients.

I'd like to display the current telescope status (ie PARKED/SLEWING/TRACKING) on the display screen but don't see an attribute that shows this status. Is there anything in the API I can use?
